The Shanghai-based NGS supermarket Group withdrew Johnson & Johnson's infant bath products from its 3,500 supermarkets and convenience stores in East China, after these were alleged to contain carcinogens on Monday. "Although no official test results were shown, we made such a move for the sake of our customers' health, especially that of kids," a staff at Shanghai Changning district's NGS supermarket, who called herself Xu, told China Daily yesterday. "We are waiting for the test results from the authorities to decide when to put them back on the shelves," she said. The company's baby shampoo was found to contain...

(NEW YORK) — Even as China is still counting the costs resulting from Mattel's recall of China-made toys, yet another consumer scandal has come to light. This time, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has tracked to China counterfeit versions of an at-home diabetes test widely used in many countries to take sensitive measurements of blood-sugar levels. According to court documents in New York, some one million fake OneTouch Test Strips, originating from China, have turned up in at least 35 American states and in Canada, Greece, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, reported Bloomberg. In Singapore, the Health Sciences...

Big Advertiser's Decision Demonstrates Power Shift In Media-Buying Deals The annual network "upfront" ad-selling season officially kicks off today, but one of the country's biggest advertisers won't be buying -- at least not now. Johnson & Johnson, the New Brunswick, N.J., health-care products maker, has informed the major TV networks that it is planning to sit out the annual selling bazaar, the time of year when TV networks secure ad commitments for about 80% of the coming fall season's primetime ad inventory. J&J spent almost $500 million on network-TV ads last year, according to TNS Media Intelligence, although not all...

It baffles me how some major corporations, whose success depends on the support of American families, show contempt for the values of such families. I am currently awaiting responses from two major corporations to letters I sent pointing out such inconsistencies. Wal-Mart, which has historically been responsive to pro-family concerns, continues to sell a Carmen Electra video promising a "striptease-inspired workout" that "introduces you to the striptease basics." Meanwhile, Kraft Foods has paid $25,000 to sponsor the "Gay Games" in Chicago this summer--an event known as much for after-hours sexual activity as for on-field athletic competition. And now, FRC has...

NEW YORK (AP) - Interviews with dozens of former and current Iraqi officials by congressional investigators have produced new evidence that Saddam Hussein micro-managed business deals under the U.N. oil-for-food program to maximize political influence with important foreign governments like Russia and neighboring Arab states. The Iraqi officials, who were flown outside of Iraq for their own safety during the interviews, provided a list of foreign companies favored by Saddam and his top lieutenants for import contracts under the U.N. program. They also revealed a parallel blacklist of companies that the then-Iraq leader disqualified from getting deals, investigators told The...
