talc

The company continued to face thousands of lawsuits alleging its talc products were contaminated with asbestos and caused cancer.

It let the new company take on current and future liabilities for judgements on the talc issue.

Johnson & Johnson would later make a third attempt at resolving talc litigation through bankruptcy in 2024, which also failed.

It seems like the street value of heroine would still be higher than other substances (say, talc with the local anesthetic).

J&J lost a lawsuit about talc and the winner was awarded $Xb (or maybe $XXXm, my memory is fuzzy) in damages.

They used to add talc and sawdust to bread because they were cheaper than flour.

Since you appear to be Canadian, how do you feel about the pneumatic planter dust-off rules (talc/graphite ban) that were implemented last year?

It seems unlikely that future exposure to cosmetic talc of the specifications now agreed to by major manufacturers will present a health hazard.

Because J&J were known to continue to sell their talc based products internationally.

Paints are made up of tiny bits of colored minerals like clays or talc suspended in a colorless matrix such as polyester or vinyl.

They get sucked in and gamed like babies bums in talc powder.

As a point of comparison, the Johnson & Johnson ruling over asbestos and talc never actually proved a credible link between trace amounts of asbestos and cervical cancer or even presence of asbestos in the client's talc.

I really don't know what's worse, cosmetic companies putting whatever they want or this exaggeration of risks Among that list of "dangerous substances" we have: talc, silica (sand).

What it in fact says: "In summary, there is no reason to believe that normal consumer exposure to cosmetic talc has in the past led either to cancer at any site or to measurable loss of lung function.

However, a "unregulated free market" is nearly impossible--somw player will eventually drive out competition to maximize profits and some will not be troubled at harming or killing their customers in the name of immediate profit (tobacco, sugared drinks, talc powder, and round-up come to mind immediately but the list is very long).
