Johnson and Johnson talc baby powder discontinued

Johnson and Johnson has announced it’s to stop global sales of its talc-based baby powder from next year.

The company faces around 38,000 lawsuits in the US from consumers and their relatives, who claim the product is contaminated and causes cancer.

Johnson denies all allegations.

It will now “transition” to a corn starch-based baby powder, which is already available in some countries.
