    Asbestos? In Cosmetics?

    FDA finds potential carcinogen at Claire's and Justice.

    Asbestos with everything? After reports that Johnson & Johnson's talcum powder contained the carcinogen (a report that J&J vehemently disputes) The Food and Drug Administration reported that it found three product samples from Claire's and one from Justice contained the substance, and it released a safety alert about the products. For its part, Claire's  says that  "out of an abundance of caution," it has removed the three products — eye shadows, compact powder and contour powder — from stores and is "also removing any remaining talc based cosmetic products." Talc is a substance that may contain asbestors and has been linked to lung cancers.


    Claire's maintains that its "products are safe" and disputes the test results, saying they "show signficant errors." The retailer insists the tests "have mischaracterized fibers in the products as asbestos." Claire's, a jewelry and accessory retailer, has more than 2,400 locations in North America and Europe.The FDA said the Justice product, a shimmer powder, had already been recalled from the market in 2017.


    Other independent testers dispute Claire's claim that these products are safe. The US PIRG Education Fund, a consumer advocacy group, released results last March that said its testing showed that the same three Claire's products contained asbestos.
