I'd get you a Wayback Machine link but they've been getting DDoS'd this week. :(

The tl:dr is a woman who used Johnson and Johnson baby powder her whole life got mesothilioma (lung cancer) and it was found the powder had asbestos in it.

J&J pulled the powder from the market and reformulated it, but that was AFTER people were getting sick.
