Johnson & Johnson Will Stop Production on Talc Powder and Change Up

This seems like it's a little late, but Johnson & Johnson is changing the production in one of their more famous products, baby powder. The company should have changed the ingredients a while back, considering being sued by many people with claims that the talc in that powder was causing issues. According to Hip Hop Wired, cancer patients who claimed the baby powder contained asbestos should have prompted Johnson & Johnson to change up quickly. Well the company stopped used the talc back in 2020 and now they are going to switch to cornstarch in the baby powder by 2023. Of course this comes after there were several complaints and lawsuits from people claiming they got sick with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma. In the lawsuits, they alleged the company continued to use talc, knowing the health risks. Are you still using baby powder and how often do you use it?
