FYI, this applies to talc & talc-based powders / body products in generalā J&J knew about this for decades because talc & asbestos occur together naturally (the minerals literally grow together in nature, have similar compositions, and are / were mined together), and theyāre difficult to cleanly filter out from each other.
Itās old knowledge that, unless youāre involved in mining, mineralogy, or occupational health & safety, has been deliberately buried from both the publicās and regulatorsā knowledge.
CNBCās article + their writeup on the Reuters report revealing J&Jās cover-ups go into more detail on their corporate liability and the impact of J&Jās products specificallyā¦
ā¦But I cannot overstate that peopleās best option right now is to look for products in general that do not contain talc at all, regardless of the manufacturer, and to be vigilant in seeking appropriate healthcare (and/or legal action if required) if symptoms arise.
This goes for body use (diaper powder, chafing powderā this is where the cases of ovarian cancer are coming from), for any use where powder may be inhaled (hair, face), or will have prolonged exposure to mucus membranes (eye makeup, bath bombs, etc.).
J&J are not the only ones who have covered this data up, and companies that arenāt sued will absolutely continue to do so. Be safe & be vigilant.
