Pune: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has permanently canceled the production license of Johnson’s baby powder produced by multinational company Johnson and Johnson’s Pvt. Ltd. from September 15.
Analysis of the samples collected from Pune and Nashik by the government’s drug control laboratory in Mumbai revealed that the product was substandard.
The baby powder is used for newborn children. Defects have been found in its production process.
The pH of the products was not up to the requisite standard, which led to damage to the skin of newborns as well as small children.
Hence, the continuation of its production was not in the public interest and the permission was canceled, said, officials.
The FDA has issued a show-cause notice to the company.
A company has also been asked to recall this product from the market. The company had not accepted the report of the government analyst and had submitted an application for re-testing in a drug laboratory in the courts of Pune and Nashik.
