The State Food and Drug Administration in Beijing said Saturday that Johnson and Johnson baby products made in China does not contain potential carcinogens as alleged by an activist group.
It states on their web site that the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration found no contamination by formaldehyde, or 1,4-dioxane, in 33 products — including 14 bath or sanitary-related items — sold by the company's Shanghai branch.
"The State Food and Drug Administration will continue to closely monitor the situation and do testing in a timely manner," it said. Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo and other products were among dozens from different manufacturers listed in a March 12 report by US-based health and environmental activist group Campaign for Safe Cosmetics as containing formaldehyde, or 1,4-dioxane.
Johnsons and Johnsons has baby products that are tested for years by most moms around the world.
