Johnson & Johnson Plans to Stop Selling Talc-Based Baby Powder

Johnson & Johnson Plans to Stop Selling Talc-Based Baby Powder

On Tuesday, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced plans to discontinue sales of talc-based Johnson's Baby Powder as part of a larger reorganization of products sold by the healthcare conglomerate. The discontinuation of talc-based Johnson's Baby Powder in North America was due to declining sales of the talc-based products as customers worried about the potential to get cancer from the products. Johnson & Johnson is facing multiple lawsuits over the potential for talcum powder to cause cancer, potentially due to contamination with asbestos.
