THE WHAT? Rwanda’s Food and Drug Authority (FDA) has recalled all talc-based Johnson’s Baby Powder, according to a report published by Citizen Digital.
THE DETAILS All importers, distributors and retailers have been ordered to immediately stop the importation and distribution of the product in question. The move follows similar orders and legal proceedings in Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and the Republic of Congo.
THE WHY? The regulatory body said that its recall was prompted by recalls of the product issued by equivalent authorities in different countries and Johnson’s decision to cease production and distribution of talcum-based baby powder.
