Thought you'd want to know this since you are all about to become mommies. I wish I would have known this with my first two. We recently made the switch to Arbonne baby care products for LO and I'm so glad we did after reading this!

Re: Lawsuit against Johnson and Johnson
Wait - I'm confused. If these products are known to contain a cancer causing ingredient that has been banned, why are they not recalled and how are they still on the market? That doesn't really make sense does it?
Arbonne products are great - I love their loitions and such for me and will probably use their stuff for the baby too. I just wish they weren't so expensive!
No idea why they aren't being recalled. I don't know if it's all of their products or if it's just the specific ones listed. I checked all our J&J stuff because we just switched to Arbonne a week ago, and the stuff Ihave doesn't have it listed.
Ditto about Arbonne being expensive. It was $30 to get the lotion and baby wash and it doesn't have that nice baby smell, but it's safe and natural so I'll suck it up and spend the money. If it gets to be too much, I"m sure there are other natural things I can use on LO that might be less expensive. My sister uses Burt's Bees baby stuff, but she just became an Arbonne consultant, so she's switching.
I was wondering the same thing. Apparently they have been trying to get this lawsuit going for a while.

I read about this awhile ago - not sure where - and took J&J off my registry because of it.
Apparently the bad chemical isn't something they add (thus it wouldn't be on the ingredient list), but something that is a byproduct of the bottling process (or something like that). A bunch of bottles were tested, and I think many but not all contained the chemical.
Sorry I can't remember where the info came from!
Plenty of baby products on the shelves have ingredients that are known to be harmful...but don't fall under the regulation of the FDA for one reason or another. For example "fragrance" which can include neurotoxins or carcinogens depending on what exactly they use (which the companies don't have to declare).
You can run all baby products through the Skin Deep Database, to see how they stack up and what chemicals are in each. It's pretty interesting.
This - though the bottling process could've changed since then, I guess. I'm using California Baby, regardless... and damn that stuff smells nice, lol.
This. It would take more than an attorney's advertisement trying to get people to join their class action lawsuit to get me to not use these products. They've been great for years. I plan to keep using them.
