WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a recent announcement by the Food and Drug Administration, Dynarex Corporation has initiated a recall of 62 cases of its Dynacare Baby Powder due to potential contamination with asbestos, a known carcinogenic substance. The recall specifically affects item number 4875, identified by Batch Number B 051. Asbestos contamination in talc-based products can occur if mining sites are not carefully selected or if the talc is not adequately purified, posing significant health risks.
The potentially contaminated baby powder, packaged in 14 oz. plastic bottles, was distributed on or after March 11, 2024, across multiple states including Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Florida, Washington, and Wisconsin. Additionally, the product was sold online through Amazon.
Dynarex Corporation has halted the distribution of the affected batch while an investigation is underway to determine the source of contamination. Although no illnesses have been reported, consumers are urged to cease using the product immediately and return it for a full refund.
For further assistance, consumers can contact Dynarex Corporation at 888-396-2739 or 845-365-8200 during business hours (8:30 AM to 5:00 PM EST), or via email at recall@dynarex.com.
