Health News: More Johnson & Johnson’s recalls for Tylenol and other over-the-counter medicines linked to a musty or moldy odor

You know I can’t understand why these big companies keep making poor quality products and endangering the public, but they still are open for business.

If you recall I did 2 articles a while back about J & J that you can read here, I suggest you check them out:

Health News: Another Tylenol Recall, your Children are at Risk

Tylenol Recall – Take Action

J&J’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit on Thursday said it was now recalling various brands of Tylenol for children and adults and several forms of its Benadryl allergy tablets and Motrin painkiller.  “These lots are being added to the list of recalled products as a precautionary measure after a continuing internal review determined that some packaging materials used in the lots had been shipped and stored on the same type of wooden pallet that was tied to the presence of TBA in earlier recalled lots,” J&J said in a release.

This issue does not seem to be getting any better.  Just this year J & J has issued four product recalls due to quality-control problems at its plants.

I don’t know about you but I am extremely careful on what products I use especially when they are for my baby and older children.  Johnson and Johnson products in my opinion should be taken off the market.  Not only have they faced problems with their medicine products but they have been accused of irresponsibly allowing carcinogens like 1,4 Dioxane and Formaldehyde in their baby wash.

So if you’re at the store next time, skip past the J & J products.  If your little ones have a fever there are several great homeopathic pellets that can help like Belladonna and Aconite.  At home we reduce the fever with herbals baths and garlic.  I did an earlier post about this entitled:  Garlic – Nature’s Fever Reducer

Toxic Baby Wash – Plus Johnson & Johnson class action suit.

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), personal care products contain known human carcinogens or developmental toxins, and more than one-third of all personal care products contain at least one ingredient linked to cancer. You can access their database by clicking on the image on your bottom right that says “Are your cosmetics toxic?”

So what do you use for your baby or grandbaby, or what are you planning to use?  I don’t know about you but I am very careful on what I knowingly allow my children’s skin to absorb especially our baby.  You see baby’s skin is their largest organ and is quick to absorb toxic ingredients into their bloodstream.   

When companies like Johnson & Johnson are being sued for placing known carcinogens in their baby wash, it leaves a not so nice taste in my mouth.  Especially since most people choose these toxic washes completely unaware of the dangers. 

If you have trouble believing me just check out the latest class action suit against J & J for toxic baby wash – Click here to participate in the suit or to read about it

Your baby’s skin is so important because it’s the filter for their little bodies.  What they are exposed to eventually ends up in their blood stream and can cause serious harm down the line.  That’s why studies have shown toxic chemicals in the umbilical cord of a newborn child.  Now if that doesn’t get your attention I don’t know what will.

Please don’t risk it.  Go to the link I mentioned at the beginning of this article which is located to the bottom right of this page.  There you can type in an array of products even baby products and it will tell you what you almost wish you didn’t know.

Interested in a safer alternative?  We use organic herbs for bathing baby; as a matter of fact I use them myself too.  If you are interested in an article about the use of herbal infusions for skin care please email me at LaChicaOrganica@gmail.com

If I receive 10 requests or more I will post an article ASAP.  If not I will post one anyway, but it won’t be right away.

Safe bathing!
