Johnson & Johnson Discontinues Talc-Based Baby Powder In North America

Johnson & Johnson has decided to stop selling its talc-based baby powder in the US and Canada due to declining demand and ongoing litigation. The company faces numerous lawsuits alleging the product contains asbestos, which they deny. Despite a recent court ruling against them, J&J remains confident in the product's safety. The talc-based powder will remain on shelves until sold out, while the cornstarch version will continue to be available.
