Having not followed the story too closely, it is also unclear to me under what timelines the talc was most likely to be contaminated with asbestos. Always? Up until X date? Just the baby powder form, but not the pills, etc? This blurb on Wikipedia [0] indicates that asbestos levels might have started being controlled as of 1976. >...Stringent quality control since 1976, including separating cosmetic- and food-grade talc from "industrial"-grade talc, has largely eliminated this issue, but it remains a potential hazard requiring mitigation in the mining and processing of talc.[39] A 2010 US FDA survey failed to find asbestos in a variety of talc-containing products.[40] A 2018 Reuters investigation asserted that pharmaceuticals company Johnson & Johnson knew for decades that there was asbestos in its baby powder,[41] and in 2020 the company stopped selling its baby powder in the US and Canada.
