High Court rejects attempt to ban Johnson & Johnson baby powder
The petitioner argued that the continued sale of talc-based baby powder violated constitutional rights to life, health, information and consumer protection.
The High Court has dismissed a petition seeking an immediate ban on talc-based Johnson & Johnson baby powder, ruling that claims the product causes cancer were not supported by sufficient evidence, and that existing consumer protection mechanisms had not been exhausted.
The court found that the petitioner, Frederick Bikeri, failed to prove that Johnson & Johnson baby powder sold in Kenya was carcinogenic or posed a demonstrable threat to consumers.
