J&J Drops Talc-based Baby Powder Globally as Cancer Lawsuits Mount
Johnson & Johnson said it had made the โcommercial decisionโ to transition all its baby powder products to use cornstarch instead of talcum powder.
The healthcare giant has faced tens of thousands of lawsuits from consumers who allege its talc products, including the instantly recognisable brand of Johnsonโs baby powder, caused them to develop cancer.
In 2020, J&J stopped selling the talc-based version in North America after a fall in demand in the wake of what it said was โmisinformationโ about the productโs safety - after US regulators found traces of asbestos in the powder.

Russia and Turkey Reach Deal to Ditch Dollar
Moscow and Ankara have reached an agreement to switch some payments for Russian natural gas to rubles. The move comes after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Russia last week and conducted talks with Vladimir Putin.
Avoiding dealing in US dollars is seen by many as a sign of deepening ties between the two nations. The deal also helps Turkey protect its dwindling hard-currency reserves.
Ankara has refused to join Western sanctions, and instead has pushed for truce talks between Moscow and Kiev.

German Security Chief Warns of Upcoming Mass Unrest - Might Be Co-Opted by โExtremistsโ
Germany could be facing mass unrest this autumn and protests over the energy crisis could be hijacked by extremists, a regional head of the countryโs domestic security agency has said.
Stephan Kramer, who heads the BfV in the state of Thuringia, said Germany must be prepared for the possibility that โlegitimateโ protests over energy and economic crises could be โinfiltrated by extremists.โ
โExtremistsโ who could hijack the protests include the so-called โlateral thinkersโ who rallied against coronavirus restrictions during the pandemic, and right-wing activists who have already been stirring the mood on social media in recent months, Kramer said.
