Question for:

In 2023, Johnson & Johnson changed the formulation of its baby powder across the globe from a talc base to a corn starch base due to the fact that it is virtually impossible to confirm that talc is NOT contaminated by what other mineral, which often forms near talc? Lawsuits against J&J regarding this contamination are covered in Gardiner Harris's book No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson. (note: J&J denies this reason for the change)
