Dynarex is recalling baby powder over fears it contains asbestos.
Asbestos is a mineral that is often found near talc, another mineral and the main ingredient of baby powder, but asbestos is toxic and can cause cancer.
Dynarex said Thursday it is recalling 62 cases, or 1,488 bottles, of baby powder it sent on or after March 11 for sale online at Amazon.com and to distributors in 12 states: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Florida, Washington and Wisconsin.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration discovered asbestos during a sampling.
No illnesses have been reported to date, but buyers of the baby powder are encouraged to report any adverse affects to the FDA through its online reporting form.
What to do
Customers who bought Dynarex baby powder from batch number B 051 should immediately stop using it and return it for a full refund.
