It's appalling that J&J knew about the link to asbestos from the earliest days of their talc business. Documents exposed during the (consumer) lawsuits show that the company knew that asbestos was a natural part of talc's formation in the earth and would always be present. They also knew there was no way to get rid of it. And that it was harming their own workers. So, no need for any modern researchers to "libel" them. It's all true and they went ahead with it anyway, the most successful product of theirs for something like 100 years.
