She put it in her vajayjay, and she's not the only cancer victim. I have mixed feelings about this. The asbestos in the talc is naturally occurring, and the product was/is safe to use as intended (for baby's asses). Apparently J&J (a giant corporation who I'd probably hate if I looked into it more) was supposed to know that women were using the product off label, know that such usage was harmful, and somehow stop them from using it.
This just feels like American sue-happiness run amok yet again. One thing I am sure of is that there are tons of law firms specializing in asbestos litigation whose pool of both victims and defendants is drying up.
So yeah I don't love the corp arbitrarily, and I guess you have to feel for sorry for people who got cancer, but this sounds like more of an unfortunate situation than some crime that that needs redressing.
That was like the panic over nestle supposedly sucking springs dry in florida.
After finding out the daily volume of the spring, it turns out nestles "millions of gallons" they were requesting?
Yeah it amounted to only 2.5% of the spring output--when the spring is at 50% flow.
They wanted a tiny fraction of the river output for bottling.
But nestle is evil, just look at california. So why defend them?
Same thing with J&J.
Actually nestle is arguably worse, because they're pushing the privatization of public water, while goldman sachs pushes water exchanges/water markets, creating a market for commodity speculation on water--just what we need: more fucking crooks, messing with the price of one more thing in everyday life, at the expense of everyone else. They call it the "blue gold phenomenon". What a bunch of bullshit.
