Baby, J&J is not for you

ET had this

Maharashtra Food and Drug Authority has issued notice to Johnson and Johnson, asking the company to remove the word "baby" from several of its products meant for infants, terming it as `misleading'. The company was issued notice yesterday for "misleading" use of the word baby on the labels of its products, as chemicals used in the producs were in no way different from those used in other cosmetic products, FDA commissioner A Ramakrishnan said. "Infact, some of the carcinogenic matter in these products can cause reaction in babies," he said and added that promotion of such products as those meant for babies was misleading. He said atleast six products, including baby shampoo and baby oil came under FDA scanner following complaints. The official, however, added that baby soap did not have any harmful chemical in it.

Borrowing from J&J's one time punchline "What does your father know", possibly the company also thought what does the baby know!
