Johnson & Johnson recalls baby lotion after tests discover it contains too much bacteria

Johnson & Johnson has recalled thousands of tubes of its Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion after a sample contained too much bacteria.

Tests by the Food and Drug Administration found a batch of the lotion contained more of a form of naturally-occurring bacteria than specifications allow.

Around 2,200 bottles of the lotion - with lot number 0161LK - have now been recalled from shops across Southern states.

The product was sold across Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, the company said.

It had been produced by an unnamed manufacturer in Canada.

The bacteria was identified as coagulase-negative Staphylococci, which naturally occurs in the environment.

It can lead to health problems such as central nervous system or urinary tract infections. Strains are resistant to antibiotics.

... and this FDA and USDA is the same crowd that persecutes we little farmers for selling raw milk to folks who know and accept the risk in advance! I guess J & J will have to pay more "protection" money to the FDA now.

'No Food Rights’ Judge quits to work for Monsanto law firm...
Food Rights, Gene Rights and Monsanto

As courts and bureaucrats continue to assert that citizens have no fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice, we find Monsanto lurking nearby. The Wisconsin judge who recently ruled that we have no right to own a cow or drink its milk resigned to join one of Monsanto’s law firms.

Former judge Patrick J. Fiedler now works for Axley Brynelson, LLP, which defended Monsanto against a patent infringement case filed by Australian firm, Genetic Technologies, Ltd. (GTL) in early 2010.

That any official would approve gene patents is bad enough – discovering nature is not inventing it. But in the Wisconsin case, Judge Fiedler ruled that humans:

* “Do not have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd;”
* “Do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow;”
* “Do not have a fundamental right to board their cow at the farm of a farmer;”
* “Do not have a fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice;” and
* Cannot enter into private contracts “outside the scope of the State’s police power.”

Ruling against raw milk forces consumers to drink genetically modified, antibiotic-laden milk from cows fed an unnatural diet of pesticide-loaded feed. No doubt that makes Monsanto a major fan of Patrick Fiedler. His decision was rendered on Sept. 9 and he stepped down from the bench on Sept. 30.
