<p><pre><code> In October, J&amp;J created a subsidiary, LTL Management, assigning its talc claims to it. It later placed it into bankruptcy, which paused the pending lawsuits.</code></pre> How is that even legal?

It&#x27;s been a while since I bought powder, in the UK it&#x27;s been quite a long time (pre-covid?) since I saw Boots (a pharmacy chain) stock their own brand of scented talcum powder. I wonder has it been withdrawn from the market altogether here? I know for certain the baby powder I&#x27;ve been using since is cornstarch.

If I was a father of an infant I would just buy corn starch and cut out the middle man

So... There&#x27;s no possible way J&amp;J&#x27;s powder wasn&#x27;t the safest on the market. Are all the other manufacturers going to have to follow suit?

Better for frying, also.
