It's part of their manufacturing that releases this chemicals. So as long as they have been producing the products the same way. I was just reading an article from 2009 where Chinese moms where angry about finding these same chemicals in J&J products sold there.

My ped. said not to use J&J products when I asked for a shampoo/body wash recommendation and I'm glad I stopped when DS was 6 mos. Even Aveeno isn't so safe.

I will not trust J&J products again.
