J&J CEO says he ‘unequivocally’ believes baby powder does not contain asbestos

Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky said in an interview on CNBC’s “Mad Money” that, in response to a Reuters report from last week that the company knew for decades about asbestos in its talc-based baby powder, the company “unequivocally” believes that its talc-based baby powder does not contain asbestos. Gorsky added that many studies, some conducted by J&J, support the company’s claims. The CEO said that such studies were “independent” and involved nearly 100,000 patients, both men and women, for decades. Gorsky added that he remains “very confident” in the safety of J&J’s products.
