J&J shares drop on report company knew of asbestos in baby powder

3.完整新聞內文:
 Shares of Johnson & Johnson fell over 6 percent on Friday, on track to post
their biggest percentage drop in more than a decade, after Reuters reported
that the pharma major knew that its baby powder was contaminated with
cancer-causing asbestos.

The decline in shares wiped off about $24 billion from the company's market
capitalization and made the stock the biggest drag on the Dow Jones
Industrial Average and S&P 500 indexes.

J&J was found to have known about the presence of small amounts of asbestos
in its products from as early as 1971, a Reuters examination of company
memos, internal reports and other confidential documents showed.

Reuters report also showed the company had commissioned and paid for studies
conducted on its Baby Powder franchise and hired a ghostwriter to redraft the
article that presented the findings in a journal.

J&J has been battling some 6,000 cases claiming its Baby Powder and Shower to
Shower products cause ovarian cancer. The products have also been linked with
mesothelioma, a rare and deadly form of cancer that affects the delicate
tissue that lines body cavities.
