Well, at least they weren't making their baby powder with actual powdered babies.

If you mix that with baby oil you can reconstitute the baby.

What do you people have against fireproof babies?

Of course J&J down play trace amounts of asbestos in their products, just like the US Apple Association doesn't mention the fact that apple seeds contain a chemical that downgrades into cyanide when eaten or that the International Banana Association doesn't call attention to the minuscule amount of radioactive potassium you ingest with each fruit.

But it's for ladies' unmentionables and for babies, IT's FOR BABIES!!!!

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Now watch Cody drink cyanide.

Asbestos is kind of like lead, there really is no safe amount to be around.

While there is no perfectly safe amount to be around, there is no such thing as perfect safety in anything. Being alive is inherently fatal.

That's a terrible argument, try another.

How about the argument that old people will be fine using baby powder, because they'll be dead soon anyway?

With that logic, we should mandate the usage of talc by people over 65, to speed up their imminent demise and thereby free up resources for the rest of us

Those resources being mainly ... baby powder.

Or a bit of lead, as mentioned
