Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Sued for Selling Toxic Baby Shampoo

Baby Shampoo
If you purchased Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Wal-Mart brand Equate Tearless Baby Wash, you may want to stop using it. A class action lawsuit has been approved that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer. 

Note: I have set up an online response to the many questions I have been getting about de-toxing our lives -- starting with our own bodies and homes. Feel free to check it out and ask any questions you might have. I have been working in this field of public health for 7 years now -- If I do not know the answer I can find it.  :-)

The class action lawsuit accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains Q-15 and methylene chloride,  an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer. The law firm that filed the lawsuit is also investigating Target’s Night-time Bath and Body Wash, which is not currently named in the suit.

A third Johnson & Johnson plant is now also under investigation for alleged quality concerns. The new Johnson & Johnson plant is one that manufactures Pepcid and Mylanta among other products. You can read the details on that investigation at Legafi.
