Talc is a common ingredient in personal care products, not just baby powder but also cosmetics. Talc is a mined mineral and sadly often contains traces of asbestos - which causes cancer and lung disease. There is testing, but cosmetics companies have often used an insensitive method. Mesothelioma is a horrible price to pay for using makeup.

CW: BigPharma abuse?
Is #JohnsonAndJohnson seriously trying to use a #shellCompany to avoid paying #compensation to the families of #cancer victims, due to having #asbestos in #babyPowder?
A they really going to try a file for #bankruptcy here?
Honestly, this shouldn't even really be only a monetary compensation. If CEOs and executives turned a blind eye to this, then there needs to be an honest look at prison time for these cretins.
