Each CEO just figured out how to kick the can down street! They knew they had an issue, but the answer was to continue to deny the problem existed.smart lawyers helped with the subterfuge!

I find this both completely horrifying and not at all surprising. However, I'm a bit confused by the statements that Johnson & Johnson never changed its powder formulation. Quite some years back when I read some of the research about talc causing ovarian cancer, I switched to a J&J product that DOES use cornstarch. While I now use homemade powder (just organic cornstarch and essential oil), I still have some of the J&J powder. The three ingredients are zea mays (cornstarch), hydroxyapatite, and fragrance. I used that for a very long time, and a quick web search says J&J began selling its cornstarch-based powder in 1980. So...can you clarify why the report says J&J did not make the change to cornstarch?
