  • JNJ will work with the FDA.. Wow, what a novel idea. Normally they ignore the FDA and sell the products for years until the law suits are filed. Like the vaginal mess units. Took them years to get caught.

    I know there are fans of this company,but, if you want growth and dividends an have no conscience then buy PM or another known killer !
