Johnson & Johnson - Gentle Soap, or Carcinogen?

By mbrickley

Johnson & Johnson - when you hear this name, you probably think of a comforting household brand that has been happily serving American families for generations. You wouldn’t hesitate to wash your child’s hair with Johnson & Johnson’s gentle shampoo or use the company’s soothing powder when changing your baby’s diaper.

Unfortunately, recent accusations might just change your mind about the trusted name. This morning on JusticeNewsFlash.com, a report from Newark, N.J. said that lawyers have filed a product liability claim against Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble and other personal care product companies because many soap products are produced using harmful chemicals like formaldehyde.

The claim says that these companies are allegedly using known carcinogenic chemicals in several personal care products that are a daily staple in many peoples’ lives.

If this is truly the case, it’s time to rethink the toiletries you are using on your skin and hair every morning in the shower.
