AMA Analytical Services, Inc. tested a sampling pool of 50 talc-containing cosmetics products, and results confirmed none showed evidence of asbestos contamination.
The Interagency Working Group on Asbestos in Consumer Products said multiple types of testing should be used to catch as much of the contaminant in talc as possible.
In early February, the public health agency will hold a public meeting on testing methods for asbestos in talc and for cosmetic products containing talc.
