The three Johnson brothers, Robert Wood, James Wood, and Edward Mead together created a line of ready-to-use surgical dressings in 1885. They produced their first product the next year, and the company incorporated in 1887.
Johnson & Johnson started producing consumer products in the 1920s. The company created a separate division for surgical products in 1941. This division eventually became the pharmaceutical division.
Johnson & Johnson expanded into women’s sanitary products and toiletries in the 1970s and 1980s.
In recent years the company has diversified even further, into such areas as orthopedics, internet publishing, and biopharmaceuticals.
Johnson & Johnson’s most well-know brands are Band-Aid, Tylenol, Johnson’s baby products, Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, and Acuvue.
On December 31, 2012 the FDA approved Sirturo, the first new tuberculosis drug on the market in 40 years.
Today Johnson & Johnson has 250 subsidiaries with operations in 57 countries, sells products in 175 countries, is part of the S&P 500, has 118,000 employees, and had $65 billion in revenue in 2012.

As a former Wisconsinite I am ashamed of your company’s stand. on pulling your support and advertising from Laura Ingrham. The fact that you would be bullied by a a 17 wise a** foul mouthed is beyond the pale. I will never purchase a J&Jproduct…I will quiz all of my medical contacts( am a retired senior) and there are many of them. And I will not allow them touse your products to treat me. I own and operate 5 retail units part of a 1600 store chain……we have thrown your first aid products away and will never restock with ours…Return to Mis Ingraham and we will consider. Your support for planned parenthood is abhorant the killing of babies that are near complete humans is murder. and there have been maybe 150 school shooting and several million baby murders. get you principles in order…they are not.

Greetings, I just left 2 messages for your attorneys (Kathleen & Thomas). There is a scientist in your office named Andrew Mahan who has made my life “hell”, he has been a nightmare to deal with. I sold him a small $1.50 mead calendar and he wrote this negative feedback about this/me on Amazon and actually Amazon is unhappy about it also. Can you please request to him to remove that feedback. I refunded him, sent him other calendars which didn’t satisfy him either. There was no need for this feedback whatsoever. I jumped through hoops to help him out, he has left the only negative feedback about me on amazon, and would appreciate it if he removed it. If you need to reach me you can call me at 805-605-XXXXX 7am-4pm PST (California) or by email or mail. I used to work for J&J Ortho McNeil in Raritan NJ in the 80’s/90’s as a DB2 Database Administrator and received awards from my job there.
Thanks so much!

You pull your advertising from the Laura Ingram show while you send your blood money to Planned Parenthood. I will never purchase another product form your corporation again. Not a penny more.
Matt Harris says
Return your advertising to the Laura Ingram show or we will start a boycott campaign. Do not take sides on political issues.

I’m not sure if I’m sending this to the right person but here’s my question. I have tried several bug repellant products on the market and have had no luck until someone told me about J&J Baby Creamy Oil – it is fantastic. So I searched online to purchase it and when I finally found it I bought several tubes of it a little over a year ago. This year before heading to the shore on vacation with my family (especially my 10 grandchildren, most under the age of 10) I tried finding this product and was shocked that the cost on Amazon was $39.00 or higher for one tube (I spent $3.99). Walmart and Target carry it for $3.50 but everywhere it is out of stock. Could you please tell me where I can find this product for an affordable amount. Thank you for your time.
