Summary

Indeed, the Food and Drug Administration has discovered evidence of the presence of asbestos in bottles of this product widely marketed, including in France. However, asbestos has been banned in France since 1997. To date, more than 15,000 legal proceedings are underway in the United States. These complaints come from people who make a clear link between their poor health and the use of this powder. Some of these people developed mesothelioma, considered the characteristic disease of exposure to asbestos. Following these revelations, the United States and Canada no longer market this product, but it remains available on platforms such as Easypharmacie and Amazon. The presence of asbestos being contrary to French legislation, this product should nevertheless be declared unfit for consumption. She asks him if he plans to contact the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products in order to carry out an investigation. on this product.
