Conventional Baby Washes and Shampoos Contain Carcinogens

Multiple class action litigations are taking place now against Defendants Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for selling children’s shampoo and baby wash that contains methylene chloride, a banned ingredient in cosmetics that is linked to increased cancer risk. Despite defendants’ representations that Johnson’s® Baby Shampoo and Wal-Mart’s Equate Tearless Baby Wash are “as gentle to the eyes as pure water” and “extra mild” for babies, these products are actually contaminated with methylene chloride. Methylene chloride is one of only 11 chemicals that the Food and Drug Administration has banned as an ingredient in cosmetics, out of more than 12,500 ingredients currently used. See 21 C.F.R. § 700.19 (1989). If you purchased one of these products and you wish to learn more about our investigation or the pending litigations, please contact paralegal Natalie Stephenson or attorneys Gretchen Cappio, Laura Gerber, or Lynn Sarko at 800.776.6044 or 206.623.1900 or via email at consumer@kellerrohrback.com.
