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

I was ordering some methylcellulose today and remembered this post. I wonder if it is found in shampoo? Methylcellulose is use to increase the viscosity of liquids and it is derived from methyl chloride. I don't recall enough chemistry to bother trying to work it out, but I would assume that the methylene chloride is some slight residue from the production of the methylcellulose. Thus, it's not as if there was some insidious insensitive plot by these companies to put a carcinogen in the shampoo, instead it likely was just a trace residue.

Can someone tell me if the shampoo has toxic substances in it or was it manufactured to be used with Toxic babies? I think I saw some of those in some horror flick a few months ago.
