Baby ShampooIf you purchased Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Wal-Mart brand Equate Tearless Baby Wash, you may want to stop using it. A class action lawsuit has been approved this month that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer.

The class action lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains methylene chloride, an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer. The law firm that filed the lawsuit is also investigating Target’s Night-time Bath and Body Wash, which is not currently named in the suit.

A third Johnson & Johnson plant is now also under investigation for alleged quality concerns. The new Johnson & Johnson plant is one that manufactures Pepcid and Mylanta among other products.

    I recently reached out to them due to my son going bald the morning after I washed his hair. They never acknowledged my sons hair loss and only keep offering me coupons as reimbursement. I do not care about the reimbursement my bigger problem if finding out why it made my son’s hair fall out. I told them I’d rather them acknowledge my son’s hair loss and have yet to receive any sort of apology. I found an article related to the shampoo causing another child’s hair to fall out and they told the parent they ARE aware the product causes hair loss .
