"only a tiny fraction of the company’s talc is tested" Yes, yes, under glorious socialism every jar will be lab-tested at a cost of free, because glorious socialism. This is deeply unserious.
Reuters refers to one result as "rather high". That result was 10 parts per million, or 0.001%. One infers that was the maximum, out of many tests. Mesothelioma mostly strikes miners, shipyard workers, and other workers who had extended contact with aerosolized pure asbestos.
Doesn't talc by itself already contribute to increased cancer risk? I thought it was *any* inhaled particulate substance
My extremely cursory search suggested there wasn't any clear evidence of cancer hazard from talc. Surprisingly, even fiberglass doesn't seem to be a significant cancer hazard.
