The record
J&J's Q1 2019 10-Q (accession 0000200406-19-000033) disclosed subpoenas from the Department of Justice and the SEC relating to talc; the inquiry-disclosure sentence last appeared in the Q2 2024 10-Q (accession 0000200406-24-000075) and is absent from subsequent filings.
Claim scope
The documented disclosure history of the federal inquiries across J&J's SEC filings from 2019 to 2024.
What this source does not establish
The disappearance of the disclosure sentence does not establish that any probe was closed, declined, or resolved — never write 'probe closed.' Do not characterize the inquiry as 'criminal'; the filings do not use that characterization.
Limitations
Present strictly as disclosure history: first disclosed Q1 2019; sentence last present Q2 2024; absent thereafter, with no further statement by the company.
