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.
