Asbestos discovery triggers Johnson & Johnson baby powder recall in US
Government officials
said customers should stop using powder from the affected batch “immediately”.
J&J
said it had launched a review and prior tests have not found asbestos.
The firm
is facing thousands of lawsuits from people who claim its talc products caused cancer.
Johnson & Johnson has strongly denied those accusations.
The firm said it had initiated the voluntary recall of one lot of baby powder, produced and shipped in the US in 2018, out of “an abundance of caution”.
