Lawsuit Claims Shampoo and Other Products Contain Cancer Causing Agents | Dallas, Texas Personal Injury Attorney Blog

In May of 2009, a lawsuit was filed against Johnson & Johnson, the world’s largest maker of health-care products, and Proctor & Gamble Co. and other manufacturers sold shampoo and personal-care products containing formaldehyde and other carcinogenic compounds known to cause cancer. Among the products at issue included in the lawsuit are Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo” and other top-selling children’s bath and personal care products. Johnson & Johnson reported sales of $63.7 billion last year alone.

We will continue to monitor the case as Johnson & Johnson will eventually be forced to disclose under oath why they permitted their products to be manufactured and sold with carcinogenic compounds and why this information was not disclosed to consumers with warnings. Consumers have a right to know what chemicals and agents are placed into the products they purchase. More importantly, manufacturers of these products have a responsibility to design, manufacture and to provide warnings on products they place into the stream of commerce that are not unreasonably dangerous.
