An iconic household baby powder will disappear from shelves in the U.S. and Canada, in part because thousands of cancer patients are claiming it made them sick.

This week, Johnson & Johnson announced that after a "portfolio assessment related to COVID-19" the company will permanently discontinue 100 SKUs, including its talc-based baby powder.

"It is great. It is one step in the right direction," said Mt. Pleasant attorney Carmen Scott. "It is not as far as they need to go. They're still going to sell the product until it's all done, all sold. And they're not going to withdraw the product from sales in other places. Why? We're not sure."

The news hit: Johnson & Johnson announced it would no longer produce and sell its popular talc-based baby powder in the United States and Canada. The corporate giant’s baby powder has been a staple of American consumerism since the 1890s, but it was tied to cancer, mesothelioma in particular.

There have been thousands of lawsuits alleging that years of using Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder led to developing mesothelioma. There have been handfuls of studies, research and tests confirming that:

- Yes, talc and asbestos can mix
- Yes, talcum powder can include loose, sharp strands of asbestos
- Yes, asbestos in talcum powder can cause mesothelioma

Add those facts up, and consider that Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder is a talc-based product that relies on talcum powder to keep skin dry and healthy. Your answer is, yes, Johnson & Johnson baby powder can, and likely has, caused many a mesothelioma diagnosis and death. So too do many other talc-based products from various manufacturers.

Court verdicts topping $100 million say the same.
