Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is often found near talc, an ingredient in many cosmetic products. Asbestos, however, is a known carcinogen and its health risks are well-documented. If talc mining sites are not carefully chosen or if proper steps are not taken to adequately purify the talc ore, it may contain asbestos. The product was sent to distributors on or after January 18, 2024, by direct delivery in the following states: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, NE, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI and sold online on Amazon (Amazon.com).Both the 4875 and 4874 Baby Powder products are packaged in plastic bottles, 24 bottles to a case for the 14 oz. and 48 to a case for the 4 oz., with lot/batch numbers located on the bottom of the bottle and on each case (see images below). There have been no illnesses or adverse events reported to date. The recall was the result of a routine sampling program by the FDA, which revealed that the finished products contained asbestos. Upon further investigation, we have identified additional lots of products that may contain asbestos due to using the same bulk talc material. The company has ceased the distribution of the product as an investigation is proceeding to determine what caused the contamination of the talc.
Consumers who have purchased Dynacare Baby Powder (see products/lots below) should discontinue use immediately and return it for a full refund.

What a Hoot!
Owl Banding at Sizerville State Park
Certified bird bander of 30+ years, David Hauber, his wife, Fay, and his son, Alan, came to Sizerville on Saturday evening hoping to band a Northern Saw-whet Owl. The program started off with a Pennsylvania Owls presentation by park educator, Alyson Rotello, followed by her taking small groups of participants down to the banding area to see the net set up.
Female Northern Saw-whet Owl
Around 9 PM, a female Saw-whet Owl was caught! David and Fay recorded data from the owl including her weight, wing chord length, eye color, age, and gender to assist with research. The owl was then banded and released back into the park.
This program is open to all ages and was attended by 45 participants. This family friendly opportunity will be offered annually during October at Sizerville State Park. Hope to see you there next year!
