J&J's baby powder situation was related to asbestos[0]. So it must be under your "or something" hand wavy qualifier. If you're going to sling dirt, at least make it accurate. The benzene use was in other products like sunscreen[1]

They mention the sunscreen in the other sentence of the post.

I gotta say, your post comes off (maybe I’m misreading it) as a bit critical, given that you seem to agree with the other poster as to the underlying problem (frequent contamination issues).
