Johnson's baby products?

I'm hearing things about certain ingredients in Johnson's baby products has cancer causing chemicals, does anyone know if it's ALL of their products, or if it's recalled? Just what's going on with it, Johnson's is all I use and I need to switch if there's something going on!

Traces of fermaldahyde (not sure of the spelling) the stuff used to preserve organs for science etc, has apparently been found in there products. I bought no name brand baby soap bars which double as shampoo. I also asked for aveeno brand baby products for my shower. A bit pricey but so worth it :)

Aveeno is a great product. I used it for my son and myself even now. I did start off with j&j but my sons skin is sensitive and he got horrible dry skin from it. I will be using aveeno for this baby not j&j.

I just googled this because I was worried too since I literally just bought some today too! I guess it's in most products from other companies too but j&j has made a promise to completely stop using that and a few other ingredients by 2015. I couldn't find one newer than 2012 though so I'm not sure how close they are to stopping the use but there is hope!

I just found this online... "J&J already announced that it would remove questionable chemicals from its baby products by 2013, but the company is now extending that commitment to its adult product lines, which include popular brands like Neutrogena, Aveeno and Clean & Clear."

Wow this is concerning. I have always used Aveeno bath and lotion on my baby, her ped told me to since she has excema. I wouldn't know which brands to switch to as her skin is very sensitive to most other products I've tried. I've used it on her for all 9 months of her life, id hate to hear something like this!
