All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists, an apex body of chemists and druggists threatened to send back nine of the company’s products if these were misbranded as claimed by the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration.

“We have asked the FDA authorities to send us a copy of their show cause notice to Johnson & Johnson. According to the provisions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, we cannot stock misbranded products and have to send them back to the manufacturer,” said Jai Shinde, general secretary, All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists.

“We will take a decision on receiving the FDA notice,” he added.

According to some media reports, Retailers and Dispensing Chemists Association (RDCA) had sent a seven-day notice to the company asking it to clarify if the products were wrongly branded as baby-care items.

The RDCA warned of public interest litigation if the company did not give a satisfactory explanation for the use of light liquid paraffin, a mineral oil.

J&J products have come under severe scrutiny in China too.
