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

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

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


    By Sarah Pierce


    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 this month that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer.

    The class action lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains 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.

    Per instructions from my eye doctor, I've been rubbing that stuff on my eyelids for the past 20 years. I'm just thrilled by one more commercial item turning up toxic.

    You may also want to stop using gasoline in your car. It's been linked to many types of cancer and other fatal diseases.

    Yea, so they will settle the class action lawsuit after they get as many members as possible and each person will in the end get a free bottle of shampoo and the 2 or 3 named plaintiffs will get a few thousand bucks a piece and the attorneys will get 20 or 30 million bucks.
