Johnson & Johnson has a long history of selling Johnson’s Baby Powder, but recent investigations led to the company halting distribution and sales in the United States and globally.
In a groundbreaking announcement, Attorney General Anthony G. Brown has revealed that he, along with 42 other attorneys general, has successfully reached a monumental $700 million settlement. This settlement aims to address the allegations surrounding the marketing of Johnson & Johnson's baby powder and body powder products, which were found to contain talc.
Attorney General Brown firmly asserts that Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries engaged in deceptive practices by promoting their talc-based Johnson's Baby Powder and Shower to Shower products. These misleading advertisements falsely portrayed the safety of these products, ultimately misleading consumers.
As part of this historic settlement, Johnson & Johnson has made a significant commitment. They have agreed to cease the manufacturing, selling, distribution, and promotion of their talc-based baby, body, and cosmetic products within the United States. This decision marks a crucial step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of consumers across the nation.
“Many Marylanders who, for decades, trusted that the personal care products they were using were safe and pure, are now suffering horrific consequences. It is inexcusable,” said Attorney General Brown. “We will hold companies who jeopardize public health by promoting and selling products that may contain harmful, cancer-causing substances accountable for their actions.”
Johnson & Johnson has a long history of selling Johnson’s Baby Powder, but recent investigations led to the company halting distribution and sales in the United States and globally. Allegations from states claim that the talc powder products may have been contaminated with carcinogenic asbestos, posing health risks to women who used them in sensitive areas. Private lawsuits have also been filed, linking talc to serious health conditions like mesothelioma and ovarian cancer.
The press release explains,“ Under the consent judgment filed today, Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries shall not:
• Resume the manufacture of baby and body powder products and cosmetic powder products that contain talcum powder, including, but not limited to, Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower to Shower (“Covered Products”) in the United States, either directly, or indirectly through any third party;
• Resume the marketing or promotion of any Covered Products in the United States either directly, or indirectly through any third party; or
• Resume the sale or distribution of any Covered Products in the United States either directly, or indirectly through any third party. “
This settlement is pending approval by the court.
