    Johnson & Johnson is recalling one lot of its Johnson’s Baby Powder after tiny amounts of asbestos contamination were found in samples from a single bottle purchased online.

    • another one with no source link... from your info it seems a proactive cause on a single instance would highlight a company super focused on good productsdeathboy
    • but you seem to only post negative material. or hey maybe coming around to the reality where " profitable companies" are not evil with any original sindeathboy
    • So let's get this straight, DB, you are "ok" with asbestos being in the powder? Just want to be clear on that.formed
    • No link is needed, if you watch any business news you'd have seen that and the stock plunge as a result. You'd also come across a ton of other law suits.formed
    • I am a JNJ shareholder and have done quite well with it, but I am not going to make excuses.formed
    • Anyone that says "a company super focused on good products" clearly has zero comprehension of how capitalism works.formed
    • just rub your sweet innocent christian white baby down with some of that baby asbestos powder.utopian
    • well disinformation can be quite profitable threse days. a small lot containing 0.00002% percent...deathboy
    • now this is a voluntary recall of a private enterprise. what would u say of flint Mi water? hell even nv fallon water run publiclydeathboy
    • private and public make mistakes, difference is ppl like formed hope their etfs algos beenfit them in such casesdeathboy
    • which us to say there is or should be pressure for better results but formed stcok cares little to do with results... a downside to "real" markets...deathboy
    • but an action on day to day basis vs years of public service. which is truely and more democratic to vote on any issue?deathboy
    • Yet again, no idea what you are talking about. You seem to be confused as to what capitalism is. It's not for "years of public service", it's money, period.formed
    • You are saying "oh, it's ok if people die as long as some benefit", right? All I am reading is forgiveness for health/death because they make breast implants.formed
    • When there are thousands of lawsuits, it's hardly "voluntary".formed
    • "People like formed..." care about people more than a stock, "they" care more about the country than making excuses for companies or presidents.formed
    • I was talking to some doctors. The powder used talcum, which MIGHT have asbestos. The cases were all related to women who used tons of it for decades.monospaced
    • Not making excuses, but I have a feeling it's not as bad as its being made out to be. The connection between the product and the supposed cause isn't strong.monospaced
    • mono siding with db......formed
    • haha formed you sure like to put a lot of words in my mouth i never said and totally off the topic from what im talking about. more focused on the real infodeathboy
    • and question wether something like this is blown out of proportion to influence algo trading related to your personal concerns.deathboy
    • at the same time identifying the difference in nature of a public shareholder as yourself or a gov municipality when they make mistakes. difference in actions.deathboy
