Johnson & Johnson Hair Products Cause Hair Loss, Lawsuit Claims

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Johnson & Johnson with the claim that the company’s OGX hair care products cause significant hair loss.

The products are sold at major national retailers, including Target, Ulta, CVS, Walmart, and Walgreens. Johnson & Johnson shampoos, conditioners, and some hair oils are among the products named in the lawsuit.

The plaintiff, Larissa Whipple, an Illinois woman, cites the ingredient DMDM hydantoin as the main concern. DMDM hydantoin is a preservative and antimicrobial agent sometimes found in hair care products. It’s considered a “formaldehyde donor,” meaning it releases a small amount of formaldehyde over time to keep the product fresh.

But formaldehyde donors like this one have been linked to allergies, rashes, hair loss, and cancer. The Department of Health and Human Services’ National Toxicology Program has said formaldehyde is known to cause cancer.

I’m old enough to be on Medicare and I still have a full head of hair. But even if I lost it all now, it’s not like it would be a big deal.

****

I have NEVER used shampoo since 2010 (earlier) and I have long hair to my back side. I just wash with water and any dude I know who rock the mullet knows shampoos have chemicals.
