Johnson And Johnson Finally Admits: Their Baby Products Contain Cancer-Causing Chemicals

#6 What Chemicals?

Johnson is the first brand that most of the people in the world prefer for their new born baby. "Children are our future" as Whitney Houston sang so passionately in the mid 80s. If this is true (and it most definitely is), why are trusted corporations, headed by mothers and fathers just like you and me, selling potentially cancer-causing baby products? Any kind of carcinogenic material shouldn't come into contact with things we put in and on our bodies, at any age.

The most trusted brand for the babies was cheating with everyone all this while. Formaldehyde has been detected in Johnson & Johnson products. Studies suggest it may cause cancer-and it is in your baby's shampoo. The chemical is commonly used as an embalming agent when preparing a corpse for burial. What is it doing in consumer-use products, you ask? The "why" is unclear but the "how" is quaternium-15. This ingredient releases formaldehyde, which is known to cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. As if all this wasn't enough, it has also been tied to leukemia.

#5 But Wait! There's More

I am sorry if we are breaking your heart here but you should no this. We have more stuff to add on to that. Johnson & Johnson has another dangerous chemical in their cocktail of potentially cancer-promoting chemicals.

1,4-dioxane is also part of the mix and it too has carcinogenic properties. This gem is a brain toxin that can cause damage to the central nervous system, liver and kidneys. Yes, and you used all this on your children.

#4 Casual Approach Of Johnson & Johnson

The sad fact about all this is that, Johnson has taken a very casual approach about this matter. They Are Taking Their Sweet Time Fixing This And To Hell With The Consequences.

For some reason, Johnson & Johnson are not putting a hop in their step to fix this problem. Even with millions of helpless babies bathing in their bathwater, the company is moving slowly in removing these chemicals from products sold in the U.S. Now this is the last thing you'd expect from a brand like Johnson & Johnson

#3 A Statement Or A Contradiction?

So we Got a statement by the company but when you read it, an obvious question that pops up in your mind is that Why is this statement full of contradictions??? Read it!

#2 Inconsistent Regulation

So this is how we can very surely say that Johnson & Johnson's Baby Products Contain Cancer-Causing Chemicals. The thing is that Analytical Sciences, an independent laboratory hired by The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, has tested several of J&J baby products. They found that the samples from the U.S. had low levels of the chemicals in their initial report. However, according to Lisa Archer, director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, subsequent consumer groups in Sweden, Japan, and South Africa contacted the group to note that quaternium-15 was not being used in ANY products sold in those countries. These chemicals are banned in several countries.
