New Delhi, June 10
Johnson & Johnson’s famous baby shampoo does not contain chemical formaldehyde, re-tests done by noted central drugs laboratory has said.
The Central Drugs Laboratory in Kolkata conducted tests on two different lots of the J&J baby shampoo after the company contested a finding of the Rajasthan Drugs Control Organisation (RDCO) that claimed to have found formaldehyde in the shampoo.
The RDCO on its website posted results of the tests done by Central Drugs Laboratory that stated that “the sample does not contain formaldehyde” in case of both lots. When contacted, a Johnson & Johnson spokesperson said: “We are pleased with the conclusion which confirms that Johnson’s Baby Shampoo does not contain formaldehyde.”
The outcome reaffirms the company’s own testing and the longstanding assurance it gave that its baby shampoo does not contain formaldehyde or any formaldehyde-releasing ingredients, the company said. — PTI
