Dynacare Baby Powder Recall Expands to 42,000 Bottles Over Asbestos Contamination
The recall now affects 35 states after FDA testing revealed the presence of the cancer-causing mineral in the product.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered asbestos in Dynacare baby powder during routine sampling, prompting an expanded recall.
- Dynarex Corporation initially recalled 1,500 bottles in September, which has now expanded to nearly 42,000 bottles across 35 states.
- The affected products include 14-ounce and 4-ounce bottles with specific batch numbers and expiration dates extending to January 2027.
- Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled baby powder immediately and return it for a full refund, as no illnesses have been reported yet.
- Asbestos, a known carcinogen, is often found near talc mining sites, and improper purification can lead to contamination in talc-based products.
