A type of baby powder that was distributed in 35 states, as well as sold online on Amazon, has been recalled over possible asbestos contamination.

On Oct. 28, Dynarex Corporation recalled more than 1,000 cases of its Dynacare Baby Powder because the products “have the potential to be contaminated with asbestos,” the company said in a release shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This was an expansion of the company’s recall of 62 cases of its baby powder in September.

The recall applies to Dynacare Baby Powder with two specific item numbers: Item No. 4875 (14 oz.) and Item No. 4874 (4 oz.).

According to the Dynarex Corporation, the recall was issued after routine sampling from the FDA found that certain Dynacare Baby Powder products contained asbestos. The company then recalled more products that could potentially also be contaminated because they were produced using the same talc material.

A complete list of the product batch numbers affected by the recall can be found on the FDA’s website, along with details for requesting a full refund.

Dynarex noted in its release that there “have been no illnesses or adverse events reported to date” related to the recalled products.

The baby powder varieties in question were sold on Amazon.com, and were also distributed on or after Jan. 18, 2024, in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

Asbestos, which is the name for a group of minerals, is a known human carcinogen, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Exposure to asbestos can cause cancers of the lung, larynx and ovaries, as well as mesothelioma, a type of cancer that affects the linings of the chest and abdomen, according to the American Cancer Society.

Talc, a key ingredient in some varieties of baby powder, is a natural mineral that may be contaminated by asbestos.

This is not the first time baby powder has been recalled over asbestos concerns. In 2019, Johnson & Johnson recalled about 33,000 bottles of Johnson’s Baby Powder after the FDA found traces of asbestos in one sampled bottle. The company went on to face multiple lawsuits alleging that its talc-based baby powder contained cancer-causing asbestos.

Johnson & Johnson stopped making baby powder containing talc in 2020 in the U.S., and it discontinued talc-based baby powder worldwide in 2023. The company’s baby powder now uses cornstarch instead.
