No, benzene was specifically what I was thinking of to the point that I assumed it was so well known that it wasn't question as being a thing any more. Just like asbestos in baby powder

That’s thankfully no longer really a thing - the world has realised that there is no such thing as asbestos-free talc, so baby powder is now mostly corn-starch AFAICT.

You mean in the US, right? Because J&J were known to continue to sell their talc based products internationally.

It’s certainly stopped here in Aus too, and there was a UK documentary about it a while ago implying it’s known there as well.

Beyond that, no clue.
