On March 5, 2019, the Rajasthan Drugs Control Organization had reported presence of formaldehyde in samples of two batches of Johnson's baby shampoo manufactured by Johnson & Johnson in India. The company had rejected the finding and had said its products do not contain formaldehyde or any ingredient capable of releasing formaldehyde. "We are pleased with the conclusion of the Rajasthan FDA, which confirms that Johnson's Baby Shampoo does not contain formaldehyde," a Johnson & Johnson spokesperson told PTI. This outcome reaffirms company's own testing and the longstanding assurance it gave that its baby shampoo does not contain formaldehyde or any formaldehyde-releasing ingredients, she added. Nothing is more important to Johnson & Johnson than the safety of the people who use its products, and the company's quality assurance process is rigorous – meeting or exceeding standards in every country where its products are sold, she added.
