A Reuters Investigation Reveals a Powder Keg of Deception.
Facing thousands of lawsuits alleging that its talc caused cancer, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) insists on the safety and purity of its iconic product. But internal documents examined by Reuters show that the company’s powder was sometimes tainted with carcinogenic asbestos and that J&J kept that information from regulators and the public.
J&J failed to tell the FDA that at least three tests by three different labs from 1972 to 1975 had found asbestos in its talc – in one case at levels reported as “rather high.”
