The record

The 1979 transfer of Johnson's Baby Powder out of the parent company is documented in a published federal appellate opinion as the '1979 Spin-Off.'

Claim scope

The corporate chronology of the product line, in the court's own narrative voice, and that since 1979 only Old Consumer and its predecessors — not J&J itself — directly sold Johnson's Baby Powder.

What this source does not establish

It does not establish that the 1979 transfer was undertaken to avoid liability. The court notes LTL's contention about an indemnification agreement as LTL's position ('LTL maintains that...'), not as a finding.

Limitations

Same indirect citation resolution as above.
