Johnson’s Baby Powder Licence Cancelled By Maharashtra, J&J Goes To Court


Johnson's Baby Powder license canceled by Maharashtra, J&J sues

Maharashtra FDA has revoked Johnson & Johnson Pvt Ltd’s baby powder manufacturing license

Mumbai:

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration has revoked Johnson & Johnson Pvt Ltd’s license to manufacture baby powder “in the general interest of public health.”

The state government agency says the company’s product, Johnson’s Baby Powder, can affect babies’ skin.

The regulator said the powder samples failed to meet standards during laboratory testing.

It said it acted after the Kolkata-based Central Drug Laboratory in a report concluded “the sample did not conform to IS 5339:2004 for pH testing.”

Maharashtra FDA has notified Johnson and Johnson and asked the company to withdraw the stock from the market.

The company “did not accept the report” and challenged it in court for sending it to the Central Drug Laboratory, the FDA said.

A statement from Johnson & Johnson Pvt Ltd is awaited.
