BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

India investigates Johnson and Johnson over asbestos fears

December 24, 2018 Reprints

India's drugs regulator has ordered U.S.-based pharmaceutical giant Johnson and Johnson to stop manufacturing baby powder in two of its Indian factories until test results prove they are free of asbestos, Reuters reported. An official said that the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization visited Johnson and Johnson's plants in northern and western India and took "tests and samples" of its talcum powder, baby shampoo and soap products. The regulator visited the plants following a recent report that the company allegedly knew for decades that cancer-causing asbestos could be found in its baby powder.
