Love of my L died from Ovarian C and she used powder all the time.
Johnson & Johnson Profile Johnson & Johnson, together with its subsidiaries, researches and develops, manufactures, and sells various products in the health care field worldwide. Its Consumer segment offers baby care products under the JOHNSON'S brand; oral care products under the LISTERINE brand; beauty products under the AVEENO, CLEAN & CLEAR, DABAO, JOHNSON'S Adult, LE PETITE MARSEILLAIS, NEUTROGENA, RoC, and OGX brands; over-the-counter medicines, including acetaminophen products under the TYLENOL brand; cold, flu, and allergy products under the SUDAFED brand; allergy products under the BENADRYL and ZYRTEC brands; ibuprofen products under the MOTRIN IB brand; and acid reflux products under the PEPCID brand.
If provable, that is, at least morally, murder.
Looks like it might be time to short JNJ or sell some put spreads.
J&J sent a note to all employees stating that Reuters is wrong in their reporting.
That J&J tried to show Reuters that the documents they were reporting were faked or were incorrectly identifying quotes to suggest something different than intended.
Reuters would not include their rebuttal in the original story or afterword.
J&J again says there is no asbestos in baby powder and there never was asbestos in the baby powder.
And that Reuters may be falsely continuing this storyline on purpose for improper reasons.
FAKE NEWS
I was told that there was not an instance of asbestosis or asbestos related cancer that did not also include smoking. The asbestos fibers need to get stuck in your lungs to cause the irritation and the tar from the tobacco provides that.
Contradiction and correction will be appreciated.

Glad your blog got the scoop.
“There Was Asbestos Was”
The Department of Redundancy Department will be right on that.
Find someone dying of a nasty disease.
Look very hard to find some possible, potential connection to someone with big, deep pockets.
Claim, without any proof, that the Deep Pockets are responsible.
Rely on a sympathetic jury to award big bucks, because "someone has to pay".
Pure evil.
How often did coke get cut w/baby powder?
Wiping baby powder on butt is not going to get you mesothelioma, you’d have to inhale it. Any silicate you inhale would be a contributor to that and similar pulmonary problems. That’s why 9-11 responders who had to remove masks are dead men walking.
Asbestos is just one of many substances which when aerosolized and inhaled can cause nasty problems in the lungs.

That we always knew baby powder was not good
And we only used corn starch
Baby powder is for stinky boots and shoes
Where is the proof of what Reuters claims in this article?
Key factors are the amount & toxicity of a contaminant, susceptibility of the sufferers of the disease (that may be caused by the contaminant), duration of exposure, size of at-risk population, interaction with other risk factors, etc. It can grow to a very long list.
Numbers are vitally important when one wishes to draw conclusions about the cause or causes of any disease.
But numbers are notable by their almost complete absence from this story: just a few passing mentions of percentage amounts of asbestos present in talc, as mined from various locations. Even the writers admit that “asbestos” is not one but six known substances - very specific forms of very specific minerals, at that.
Statistical correlation is so weak as to be all but nonexistent. And (as statisticians warn us endlessly) correlation is not causation. What Johnson & Johnson attorneys, scientists, and corporate officials did or didn’t do is irrelevant. “Gee, that looks suspicious” means nothing. It means less than nothing when voiced by a nosey, officious, moronic reporter.
And the tone of the Reuters piece is boringly predictable: disease victims, plaintiff attorneys, journalists, activist reformers, crusading scientists, regulatory agencies good, for-profit corporations bad (right along with their corrupt scientists, shady trade organizations, legal shills, and lobbyists).
Life is full or risks. Some can be discovered, and some of them can be reduced (at times), but it’s never possible to eliminate all risk entirely. To live is to have enemies.
If it’s true that Baby Powder can kill you, half of the people Posting here would already be dead and gone.
After the Roundup Case the Lawyer Commercials for anyone who has Leukemia (like I do) have been nonstop. My attitude, shit happens. I’m not going to sue someone because I killed some weeds with Poison and ended up with Leukemia (like that really happens). I didn’t drink or snort the stuff. That would be, you know, STUPID...
Heck, many of us were alive when Lead Based Paint was used. Who would think to eat Paint Chips when they were Kids? Nobody I knew.
I used to play with Mercury that came in a Chemical Set my Parents bought me. I played with it, I didn’t eat it. Anyone here know a Kid they grew up who was Hospitalized for Mercury Poisoning? Me neither.
The whole thing is just the latest version of Ambulance Chasing for People who are upset that they never hit the Lottery.
