Inside the Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder Controversy | Bloomberg Investigates

- Johnson’s baby powder has been the healthcare giant’s iconic product. But in recent years, tens of thousands of lawsuits have been filed against J&J alleging the version of the product that contained talc gives people cancer, a claim the company has long denied. (The video published May 10 has been corrected to show that a Missouri verdict in favor of plaintiff Jackie Fox was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. The case was later refiled in a different court.)

People need to go to jail, this whole corporate protection thing needs removing
it's insane that they still sell the Talc version in the UK
I think they have only taken back stock from us and canada
If a group of individuals knowingly poisoned a group of people, every single person would be criminally investigated and arrested. If the group who did the exact same thing is called a corporation, most if not all of them will get away with it.
😢
Making people pay to poison themselves
No it’s if those individuals bankrolled congress they would not get investigated
How astute.
welcome to america! first time?
One of the most profound stories I’ve ever heard. When they found the asbestos in her lymph nodes & in the same baby powder in her own home, oh man, I just felt so overwhelmed for her. This is so, so despicable 😢
I lost my aunt this year to ovation cancer. She had one of the healthiest lifestyles I knew; no alcohol, no red meat, no smoking, plenty of hiking and swimming. She, like so many others in healthcare used J&J baby powder to stay fresh during their long shifts.
She didn’t live to resolve the lawsuit she was a part of. I hope for the sake of everyone who’s lost family to this insidious company, that Johnson & Johnson is ran into the ground. They’re still selling it like none of this is real, and it’s psychotic.
within 3 years of me sharing my evidence "covid" and mandatory vaccines happened - it has been scary to see people not be able to debate science
This is scary, 'cause it's still sold here in South Africa and widely used
I thought we got it from our own mines though??? Ie. Not from the same sources as the American talc.
I pray that judge Kaplan makes the right decision and throws this bankruptcy case out like he did the last one. These are peoples lives here! They have harmed so many people. They need to be held to a higher safety standard than this. JNJ should be held accountable. They need to change the way they do business!!
Johnson and Johnson Bk filling rejected for the 2nd time
That will never happen. The man behind this conglomerates have serious connections in powerful government and they also have a deep pockets. Look at the lawsuits against Monsanto and tell me why the company is still running
I appreciate hearing the victims perspective, even if through family members. It just hits deeper when you hear the voices of those impacted the most.
They ate steak dinner out of the skin of my dad’s back….
I was told over 20 years ago from my aunt not to put powder in my lower area b/c it causes cancer! If it wasn’t for her, and I’m not sure how she knew I would have been doing it to this day!
Just another corporate criminal who will never be brought to justice.
The system of Babylon ensures that the killer hide behind corporate and go unpunished
I am confused.
I am a 68 year old woman and use the JxJ babypowder already 50 years and still do every day, all over my body.
I still can buy it here in Holland.
Didn't know about the dangers.
When I share it with my physician, they don't take me serious.
I feel horrible every day, for years I'm sick.
But then they say: It is all in your mind, because your husband had Parkinsons and died of braincancer.
And because you suffering long-covid and they refuse to do any tests.
So, what can I do?
Should I do?😥
I hope you stop using it and throw it in the trash. Use unrefined, raw organic coconut oil. I jar last for months.
This will be criminally under viewed, and it will make me sad.
8.9 billion doesn'tr even come close. Anyway how many people from J&J have gone to prison I mean considering the evidence of cover up a crime was committed therefor prison.
In the work- and concentration camps in WWII-Germany, they used the same style of experiments on prisoners.
How low have humans sunk… and that Kligman guy lived all these years without any remorse?
They changed the name now to Aveeno… and still selling same kind of stuff….
NYTimes Still have his article after his death celebrating his life achievements without any mention of this.
This is the new PBS Frontline 🔥👍🏽
I don't trust PBS Frontline anymore. They are too biased, and not very factual these days.........
J&J needs to answer for their actions.
The talc cases I knew about; Kligman and Holmesburg prison was not a story I had heard of and I’ve got no words to describe my feeling.
this is just real-life gotham, except there's no batman stopping the villians and the villians are people like his father thomas wayne
This is scaring me, seriously, because I've been using J&J baby powder for a year now.
Independent testing had shown that recent baby powder from j and j is safe. So don't panic too much. Just be aware of it.
@@medes5597please tell me if indipendent study was not sponsored by J&J
@@jay-oc3zu lol exactly 😂
This poor woman
Nu -Skin Personal care products removed talc in the early 90s, because they determined it was not safe. So if they knew it, would not
j and j? As the man said, they as one of the biggest companies in the world, didn't. I need a list of all the companies they own, so as to avoid support them.
Yes FDA approval skins

So true

What about all the other cancer causing substances/chemicals that companies expose us to. Can they get the same treatment as well?
File your lawsuit with at least as much evidence as this, and get your $$$

So when i end up with ovarian cancer.... What do i do?
very saddening
My grandmother use j&j baby powder all her life, afterbath... she died cause of ovarian cancer
I am 83 years old and remember a newspaper article that stated that talcum was mined close to nuclear test sites so may have nuclear fall out material as an unwanted ingredient. I think this was in the 70s or 80s when cancer was reported as a major worry.Bob.
I used johnson's baby shampoo (the yellow one), does anybody know whether that product is harmful?
Great video
Never understood why people use baby powder in the first place. It feels & smells bad. What is its purpose?
Desication
Seems like there are 2 stories here. One is about J&J and their baby powder. The other story is about Holmesburg Prison. I wish bloomberg would have focused on one or the other for this video......
This is very similar to how the US government used soldiers to test the effects of radiation exposure, or LSD. That is so much like the Nazis....

Use that cornstarch !!!
Oui chef
@@Nav0nod thats brilliant! loved it
Gold cornstarch
It was turn in under a monitor
Money is not the only thing, it is everything!
Also box Mac and Cheese has lead and other chemicals.
Source 👀
Couldn't find any sources for lead, but Examine says: "Boxed mac and cheese is high in phthalates because of plastic involved in processing."
Is it safe now ?
So this talc that i have here is cancerous right now?
This Bloomberg story has too many loose ends......
Yeah probably. Talc is often contaminated with asbestos.
Typing talc
Other Mesothelioma powers
Inhumane ! J&J employees that were in charge of the baby powder plant should be trialed ! I've been using J&J powder for decades and am worried now ! Have i been buying poison ?
Everything we use today is dangerous. Our governments are in bed with the corporations. Until the people rise to the occasion we will all suffer
$4.7 billion is nothing lol. And guess what do you think $4.7 billion goes to the people affected? no the government takes $4.7 billion and pumps it directly to Johnson & Johnson. The justice system is broken regarding this.
Talc is in the eye makeup all the actors are wearing in this video

Baby powder? What kind of babies, human?

Profits over people. The bedrock of capitalism!
I understand about the adults who developed cancer .what about the the millions of babies who it was sprinkled over? I have not heard about any cancer regsrding the children...

You are very strong lady ❤
yeah it feels right that the tested inmates were black
And just to think that with all this, folks were out there taking the J & J jab too!

Don't they still sell this?
Well interesting in Australia they don't seem to have it on the shelf, at least not in the shops I have been looking for it. I use it to keep ants of my plants, ants don't walk over it. Which is interesting in its own right.
@@gambylou9959RIGHT!! I’ve never heard of that before… VERY INTERESTING!!
use corn flower it is messy but safer and it actually helps with sweat rashes just plain corn flower the stuff you cook with
The report would be much better if they focused on the actual issue rather than the interview of the survivor.
So just talk about the “issue” without ever mentioning it’s effects. Makes sense!
The survivor is the issue. It affects people. My sister who I christened the Baby Powder Queen died of ovarian cancer at 61. I couldn't stand the smell of it so I left the area when she was dusting herself. I used corn starch on my baby as I was a hippy back then. I agree that scientific research is more useful than anecdotal stories, but you will never convince me that talc didn't have anything to do with it. Women were encouraged to dust their pads with baby powder.
That is there so you can empathise with a human being who has suffered and understand the human toll of these things instead of just looking at bare numbers and data. Maybe it's not for you but it helps people understand the issue and the damage done.

I feel bad for the women who have used Baby powder because they were brainwashed into thinking they should. It's tragic and disgusting Manufactures wouldn't care enough To make sure that their products were safe! I'm a 60 year old woman and I've Never used baby powder because the smell of it is completely revolting! To me. If you're using baby powder to cover up body Odor you need to take a Shower. Omg on your private parts? ... I want to throw up.
I don't understand it either. Why would anyone use powder on the private parts? Nobody in my family ever had that idea!
It’s more for those with jobs that require a lot of actual hard work.. it was used to absorb sweat more than cover up any smell as you suggested… 😞
Your father did get a reparation. Not sure why you think everyone in the family should now get one 🤷♀️. Horrible what they were put through but the ones that got zero reparations are the ones that really got shafted and THEY deserve a reparation like your father got

So why only black people use that powder? I known almost all Americans are black through movie, but there are at least 1% of them are white,right?
My mother used it and she wasn't black or white! She also died of ovarian cancer.
I'm a white South African and I used to use it
My Mom who recently passed away after battling ovarian cancer… was white. My life will Never be remotely the same 😞
