In a letter to chief secretaries of all states, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights or NCPCR ordered stoppage of sale of Johnson's baby shampoo and also removing the product from stock of shops after Drug Testing Laboratory, Jaipur, declared it of substandard quality as presence of formaldehyde was confirmed in it.

The order to stop sale was issued after test reports of the baby shampoo sample from Rajasthan came in. It is yet, to receive the test reports from the other four states.
It has asked the Drug Control Officer of Rajasthan to send the test report of the talcum powder at the earliest.
