Johnson will have to remove Cancer-causing chemicals from its baby shampoo
The popular brand among urban centres, Johnson Baby Shampoo, is
made of carcinogenic chemicals. The traces of the same sent for
testing had been found to have at least two potentially cancer
causing chemicals, 1,4-dioxane and quaternium-15 that releases
formaldehyde.
In US, since 2009, The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has met with
Johnson & Johnson representatives three times about making its baby
products safer by removing two chemicals. Dioxane, which is
considered a likely carcinogen, is found in Johnson & Johnson’s
Baby Shampoo and Moisture Care Baby Wash.
As per a news report by the agency, AP, the campaign has sent
Johnson & Johnson a letter signed by 25 environmental and medical
groups, including the Breast Cancer Fund, Environmental Working
Group, Friends of the Earth, American Nurses Association,
Physicians for Social Responsibility and Green America demanding
the removal of chemicals or face a boycott.
Johnson & Johnson said that it’s working on reformulating its
baby products and gradually phasing the chemicals but practically
the company should not need time to create new formula, because
it’s already selling a carcinogen-free version of its baby shampoo
in various other countries. Even in US, they sell a
carcinogenic-free product but that is priced twice the normal
product.
Tracey J. Woodruff, director of the Program on Reproductive Health
and the Environment at University of California-San Francisco, says
that infants using the shampoo are being exposed to these chemicals
at a very vulnerable period of development.
As the Johnson’s Baby website shows, J&J’s Baby Shampoo also
contains Quaternium-15, which releases formaldehyde — officially
identified by the U.S. government as a carcinogen, that flies in
the face of the “No More Tears” tagline.
