The Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) said yesterday that it was banning the importation, distribution and sale of Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Baby Powder that contain the talc ingredient. it come almost two weeks after the standards body announced that it was investigating the possibility of the presence in the market of baby powder manufactured by the US pharmaceutical giant J&J that contains talc, which is claimed to cause cancer in some countries. On April 4, J&J announced its intention to stop manufacturing the product using talc as an ingredient after the company proposed an $8.9 billion (Sh21 trillion) settlement to resolve years-old lawsuits claiming that its talcum powder products caused cancer. Is this a deliberate move by J& j to include talc for profits ?
