Johnson & Johnson has resumed production of its Johnson’s Baby Powder at plants in Baddi and Mulund in India after the Government-sanctioned testing reaffirmed that the product does not contain asbestos.
"This conclusion reinforces the findings of decades of independent tests by universities, research labs and government regulators around the world that have consistently found that our talc is safe.
In recent months, regulatory authorities from Singapore, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, and Egypt have also reaffirmed the purity of Johnson & Johnson’s talc. We stand behind the safety of our talc, which is routinely tested by both suppliers and independent labs to ensure it is free of asbestos.
Johnson & Johnson has co-operated fully and openly with global regulators, providing them with all the information they have requested dating back to the 1960s, and has made its cosmetic talc sources and processed talc available to regulators for testing.
Research, clinical evidence and nearly 40 years of studies by independent medical experts around the world continue to support the safety of our cosmetic talc," stated the company. Johnson & Johnson reiterated that studies on thousands of women and men show that their talc does not cause cancer or any asbestos-related disease.
