Johnson and Johnson to replace talc-based powder with cornstarch

• legitster 4y ago
  So... There's no possible way J&J's powder wasn't the safest on the market. Are all the other manufacturers going to have to follow suit?

  If I was a father of an infant I would just buy corn starch and cut out the middle man

  It's been a while since I bought powder, in the UK it's been quite a long time (pre-covid?) since I saw Boots (a pharmacy chain) stock their own brand of scented talcum powder. I wonder has it been withdrawn from the market altogether here? I know for certain the baby powder I've been using since is cornstarch.

  In October, J&J created a subsidiary, LTL Management, assigning its talc claims to it. It later placed it into bankruptcy, which paused the pending lawsuits. How is that even legal?

    One might even say that it was Less Than Legal.

  Better for frying, also.
