The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded a nationwide recall of Dynacare Baby Powder due to potential asbestos contamination. The recall has been broadened from an initial 62 cases in 12 states to encompass 1,020 cases across 35 states. The affected products were sold on or after January 18, 2024, both in stores and online, including through Amazon. Routine testing by the FDA detected the presence of asbestos, a known carcinogen linked to serious health risks, including cancer, in the baby powder products. Consumers who have purchased Dynacare Baby Powder are advised to discontinue use immediately and follow the FDA's instructions for returning or disposing of the product.
