		</div><p>Johnson &; Johnson is pulling baby powder containing talc worldwide next year after it did the same in the US and Canada amid thousands of lawsuits claiming it had caused cancer.</p>
<p>Talc will be replaced by cornstarch, the company said.</p>
<p>The company has faced thousands of lawsuits alleging its talcum powder caused users to develop ovarian cancer, through use for feminine hygiene, or mesothelioma, a cancer that strikes the lungs and other organs.</p>
<p>J&;J insists, and the overwhelming majority of medical research on talc indicates, that the talc baby powder is safe and does not cause cancer.</p>
<p>However, demand for the company’s baby powder fell off due to the controversy and it removed talc from the products in most of North America.</p>
<p>J&;J said the change will simplify its product selection and meet evolving global trends.</p>
<p>Shares of Johnson &; Johnson, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, were essentially flat before the opening bell on Friday.</p>
