Johnson & Johnson: New Lab Tests Did Not Find Asbestos In Bottle Of Recalled Baby Powder
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Following a voluntary recall of its popular baby powder, Johnson & Johnson says multiple new tests did not find asbestos in a bottle of baby powder. This contradicts the U.S. Food and Drug Administration whose previous tests revealed trace levels of asbestos in that same bottle.
That finding led to a large recall earlier this month.
The recall cued retailers such as Walmart, CVS and Rite Aid to pull the 22-ounce bottles that came from a lot distributed in 2018.
The FDA says it stands by its findings.
