美国食品和药物管理局
该公司在9月19日首次宣布召回，此前美国食品和药物管理局进行了“例行取样”，“发现成品含有石棉”，这是一种已知的致癌物质，该公司当时表示。
“经过进一步调查，我们已经确定了更多批次的产品可能含有石棉，因为使用了相同的散装滑石材料，”Dynarex周一表示。"该公司已停止销售该产品，因为正在进行调查，以确定是什么原因造成了滑石粉的污染。"
根据环境保护局石棉“是一种存在于岩石和土壤中的矿物纤维”，“已被用于各种建筑材料的绝缘和阻燃剂”以及“各种制成品”
“暴露在石棉中会增加你患肺病的风险，”环境保护署指出。“吸烟会加剧这种风险。一般来说，接触石棉越多，产生有害健康影响的机会就越大。接触后，疾病症状可能需要很多年才会出现。”

正如Dynarex周一指出的，石棉“经常在滑石附近发现，滑石是许多化妆品中的一种成分。”
该公司表示:“如果滑石矿的开采地点没有经过仔细选择，或者没有采取适当的步骤来充分提纯滑石矿，滑石矿可能含有石棉。”
Baby powder recall over possible asbestos contamination expands to 35 states
A type ofbaby powderdistributed in 35 states and sold online through Amazon is being recalled due to potential contamination with asbestos.
The Dynarex Corporation said Monday that its earlierrecallof Dynacare Baby Powder, initiated in September, had expanded from 12 states to 35,according toa company announcement on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website.
The company said the recalled Dynacare Baby Powder products were sold on or after Jan. 18, 2024, in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin and online through Amazon.com.
The recalled products include both 4-ounce and 14-ounce sizes, according to Monday's announcement.
Dynarex has instructed customers to immediately discontinue use of recalled Dynacare Baby Powder products and return them for a full refund. There have been no illnesses or adverse events reported to date in connection with the recall, according to Dynarex.
Questions about refunds and returns can be directed to Dynarex Corporation at 888-396-2739 or 845-365-8200 during business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, or by email at recall@dynarex.com.
The company first announced the recall on Sept. 19 following "routine sampling" by the FDA, "which revealed that the finished products contained asbestos," a known carcinogen, the company stated at that time.
"Upon further investigation, we have identified additional lots of products that may contain asbestos due to using the same bulk talc material," Dynarex stated on Monday. "The company has ceased the distribution of the product as an investigation is proceeding to determine what caused the contamination of the talc."
According to theEnvironmental Protection Agency, asbestos "is a mineral fiber that occurs in rock and soil" that "has been used in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant" and "in a wide range of manufactured goods."
"Exposure to asbestos increases your risk of developing lung disease," the EPA states. "That risk is made worse by smoking. In general, the greater the exposure to asbestos, the greater the chance of developing harmful health effects. Disease symptoms may take many years to develop following exposure."

As Dynarex noted Monday, asbestos "is often found near talc, an ingredient in many cosmetic products."
"If talc mining sites are not carefully chosen or if proper steps are not taken to adequately purify the talc ore, it may contain asbestos," the company said.
