Wasn’t the allegation that it wasn’t the talcum powder itself but other ingredients that supposedly got mixed in?
I use the version of J&J baby powder now sold in stores, so it must now be safe if it’s being sold in U.S. stores. It’s great for dusting after a shower, as a previous poster said. It clears up a rash if redness starts in sweaty places like under a woman’s breast. It has a pleasant aroma.
