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.

I learned about the toxic chemicals in Johnson & Johnson products two years ago when I became a member of the Internet Ceo Moms. My son had a consistant rash and I had no idea why. The Doctor had no idea why his rash would not go away. Then I found this team and found out it was by Johnson & Johnson body wash I was using on him. I stopped using the body wash and his rash went away and he has never had another one. I was shocked that these harmful chemicals were used in baby products and I felt awful that I was causing my sons rash without even knowing it. So many people have no idea that these harmful chemicals are in adult shampoo, toothpaste, skin care and make-up. I know I feel better knowing that I am now an educated consumer.

To your success,
