American Cancer Society website changes
On the left are images from the American Cancer Society’s website as it appeared on Nov. 19. The images on the right
were captured Dec. 10.

Until recently, the American Cancer Society reported on its
website that consumer talc products in the United States
have been asbestos-free for decades.

The organization also removed this sentence, which assured
consumers that modern consumer talc products are free of
asbestos.

After inquiries from Reuters, the organization edited the page to
say that industry guidelines state that cosmetic talc should be free
from detectable asbestos, according to industry standards.
