- Johnson & Johnson announced on Tuesday they will stop selling their popular talc Baby Powder.
According to Reuters, the decision will affect only the United States and Canadian markets.
J&J says demand has waned in the wake of what they called "misinformation" about the safety of the product.
The company has faced scrutiny since a 2018 report showed they knew for decades that asbestos lurked in their talc.
J&J faces more than 19,000 lawsuits from consumers and their survivors claiming its talc products caused cancer.
Many of the cases are pending before a U.S. district judge in New Jersey.

That's according to a new study from New York City's Columbia University Irving Medical Center, published in The Lancet.

Critical illness was more common in older patients, who had a median age of 62, but roughly one in five patients were under 50.
Nearly half of the patients were obese.
In general, the findings in New York City mirror reports from China, Italy and Britain.

- As if the novel coronavirus pandemic hasn't disrupted students' lives enough, high school juniors face obstacles unique to them.
According to Business Insider, juniors will lose out on activities that often help distinguish a college application, like extracurriculars and jobs.
SAT tests have also been cancelled through August, meaning students will get fewer chances to raise their scores.
Low-income students may be disproportionately impacted, especially if SAT testing moves online.
In losing access to school buildings and libraries, they may have lost their only chance of using a quiet study space and computer.
Even having one computer may not be helpful if students need to share it with a parent working from home.

- New Study Supports Theory COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus Jumped From Bats To Humans
- Date posted

- Description
- There's growing scientific evidence that the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is most closely related to other coronaviruses found in bats.
This week, a study revealed a previously unknown coronavirus named RmYN02 that's 97.1% similar to COVID-19.
It was found in the bats in China's Yunnan province between May and October 2019.
According to Business Insider, this isn't the first instance of a cross-species spillover event.
This type of jump also led to the outbreaks of Ebola and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Furthermore, experts don't think it will be the last.
A fringe theory suggests the new coronavirus could have leaked from a Chinese research laboratory, but there's little evidence to support it.
