Case Details for "Johnson and Johnson and Wal-Mart "

Johnson and Johnson and Wal-Mart accused of selling shampoo and baby wash contaminated with methylene chloride

The lawsuit alleges that Defendants Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart breached implied warranties and violated consumer protection acts when they sold purportedly safe and gentle children’s products that were actually contaminated with methylene chloride. Methylene chloride is linked to increased cancer risk and is one of only 11 chemicals that the Food and Drug Administration has banned as an ingredient in cosmetics, out of more than 12,500 ingredients currently used. See 21 C.F.R. § 700.19 (1989). Plaintiffs further allege that methylene chloride can be removed through a simple and cost-effective process of vacuum-stripping.

The class includes purchasers of the following products

Johnson’s® Baby Shampoo,
Wal-Mart’s Equate Tearless Baby Wash, and
Target Night-Time Bath and Body Wash.
