Johnson & Johnson’s baby shampoo samples failed quality tests in the Indian state of Rajasthan, according to a notice from the state’s drugs watchdog. The state’s findings were rejected by the U.S. product manufacturer.

This comes just a few months after Indian authorities launched an investigation into J&J’s Baby Powder to see if it contains cancer-causing asbestos. J&J said in late February it had resumed production of baby talc after government tests found no asbestos in the product.
