Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Sued for Selling Toxic Baby Shampoo

 

If you purchased Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Wal-Mart brand Equate Tearless Baby Wash, you may want to stop using it. A class action lawsuit has been approved this month that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer.

The class action lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains methylene chloride, an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer. The law firm that filed the lawsuit is also investigating Target’s Night-time Bath and Body Wash, which is not currently named in the suit.

A third Johnson & Johnson plant is now also under investigation for alleged quality concerns. The new Johnson & Johnson plant is one that manufactures Pepcid and Mylanta among other products. You can read the details on that investigation at Legafi.

EASY lesson about Free Radials

Free Radicals – A Fact of Life

Wherever there’s life, there are free radicals. You can think of free radicals as exhaust from a combustion engine. If the engine is running, it’s throwing off exhaust. The same principle applies in the human body. As you breathe, as you digest food, as you exercise, you’re producing free radicals. By simply living, you’re generating them every second of your life.

But free radicals aren’t just byproducts of your metabolism. You can encounter even more through environmental factors such as cigarette smoke, fatty foods, sunlight, and pollution. When too many free radicals are created too quickly, the real danger of free radicals becomes evident.

Minor Radicals Do Major Damage

That overbalance of free radicals, called oxidative stress, has been linked to more than 200 health problems—from cardiovascular disease to Alzheimer’s disease to wrinkles on the skin. It’s even part of how and why we age.

There are trillions of cells in your body, and every second of every day, each cell of your body has to fend off about 35,000 free radicals. Left unchecked, that free radical damage can add up fast.

Information about genetically engineered corn….SCARY!

Story at-a-glance

• A two-year long French feeding study designed to evaluate the long-term health effects of a genetically engineered corn found that rats fed Monsanto’s maize developed massive breast tumors, kidney and liver damage, and other serious health problems. The major onslaught of diseases set in during the 13th month
• Female rats that ate genetically engineered corn died 2-3 times more than controls, and more rapidly, while the male GE-fed rats had tumors that occurred up to a year-and-a-half earlier than rats not fed GE corn
