The fact that they continue to sell the product in other countries suggests "no".


Not really accurate. The problem was the contamination, not the Talc.

They have changed the process to remove the asbestos contamination, but have gone a step further in the US, out of risk-aversion, to replace the Talc with cornstarch entirely.


All talc is associated with asbestos. You can't remove it all, only choose mines with lesser proportion.


The product is not the problem. It is a useful product when it meets quality controls.
