They are finally starting to make changes, thats good to know!

Personally thats not good enough for me. I don't think it should take a class action suit to decide to make changes to be healthier for their consumers... Esp when those consumers are children. If that makes sense.

We used it with our first child and for a while with our second. But then they changed the fragrances and now I swear every j&j product smells like its made for hookers. Sorry, the smells are horrid. We use natural products now.

I heard about this about a year and a half ago and stopped using them. And now they are involved in positive drug tests in newborns too :/

I'm not saying its good that it took that much but they are finally starting to do something.

I did use the products with my first but that was before people really started looking into what was in everything.  I don't use it anymore.

 What do you mean positive drug tests?

[mommyjenn84]

I don't have the article anymore but its been in many groups here. There was a surprisingly high rise in positive marijuana tests in infants, come to find out there were 5 baby soaps used for on those babies causing some kind of chemical reaction resulting in these tests. Two johnsosn, two aveeno (made by johnsons) and a CVs soap.
