FAIRLESS HILLS, Pa. (AP) — Johnson Johnson is ending sales of its iconic talc-based Johnson’s Baby Powder in the U.S. and Canada, where demand has dwindled amid thousands of lawsuits claiming it has caused cancer.
The world’s biggest maker of health care products said Tuesday the talc-based powder will still be sold outside the U.S. and Canada.
“Demand for talc-based Johnson’s Baby Powder in North America has been declining due in large part to changes in consumer habits and fueled by misinformation around the safety of the product and a constant barrage of litigation advertising,” the company said.
The company insists, and the overwhelming majority of medical research on talc indicates, that the talc baby powder is safe and doesn’t cause cancer.
The New Brunswick, New Jersey, company said the baby powder decision came as it moves to discontinue about 100 consumer health products.

The shooting of Jordan Davis occurred on Friday, November 23, 2012, at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida, United States by Michael David Dunn, a 47-year-old software developer, following an argument over the loud music played by Davis and/or his three friends. Jordan Russell Davis was a 17-year-old high school student. Dunn was convicted on three counts of attempted second-degree murder for firing at three other teenagers who were with Davis and one count of firing into a vehicle.[2]
The shooting took place in Duval County. Dunn was visiting the city for a wedding.[3] The incident began when Dunn allegedly confronted Davis and his companions, objecting to the volume of the music being played in their vehicle. A verbal argument ensued to which Dunn responded by retrieving a loaded handgun from his car and shooting ten rounds into the teenagers car, fatally injuring Jordan Russell Davis.[4]
Around 7:30 p.m., four teenage boys (Leland Brunson, Jordan Davis, Tommie Stornes, and Tevin Thompson) stopped at the Gate gas station to buy gum and cigarettes. While the driver, Tommie Stornes, was inside making the purchase, Michael Dunn and girlfriend Rhonda Rouer pulled into the adjacent parking spot. Rouer left the car to purchase white wine and chips.[5] She testified that Dunn told her, I hate that thug music before she left the car for the store, although Dunn claims he used the phrase rap crap.[6] [7]
The bass from loud hip-hop music (Beef by Lil Reese) playing in the teens SUV started to shake both cars and bother Dunn, who asked for it to be turned down.[5] [8] Front seat passenger Tevin Thompson initially complied, but then Jordan Davis objected and Thompson turned the music back up.[9] According to the other teens, Davis and Dunn continued to talk to each other, with Davis cursing, becoming extremely upset and allegedly referred to Dunn as a cracker.[10] Dunn remained relatively calm. Meanwhile, Stornes returned to the vehicle.[5]
According to Dunns testimony, Davis threatened to kill him,

Growing Food Insecurity Threatens West Africa
With these words, experts from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Food Crisis Prevention Network and Sahel Club sounded the alarm on Thursday. It is estimated that more than 16 million people have been facing a situation of acute food crisis in West Africa and the Sahel since October,
And the already dire situation could get even worse in West Africa as unless swift action is taken, up to 24 million people could go hungry between June and August 2021, one of the most difficult periods to obtain food just before harvest season begins in the fields.
The Problematic Presence of Islamist Terrorism
There is a lack of resources, mainly due to challenges of insecurity which have gradually grown more complicated to overcome in affected nations. In Nigeria alone, where Islamist extremists have been wreaking havoc in the north of the country, the number of people threatened by hunger could reach 13 million, i.e. half of the total West African population.
In the Sahel, four million refugees displaced as a result of jihadist terrorist attacks are also at risk of food insecurity.
In spite of the diverse efforts of various governments and their international allies, the next six months could be catastrophic for millions of people.
