Talc Evidence Atlas — release-gated evidence record. Status: verified · Track: reconciliation:regulatory · Modified 2026-08-13

The record

Two 2019 House subcommittee hearings — March 12, 2019 (CHRG-116hhrg36060) and December 10, 2019 (CHRG-116hhrg38735, chaired by Rep. Krishnamoorthi) — took testimony on talc safety and regulation, including from witnesses Dr. William Longo and Dr. David Metcalf.

Claim scope

That Congress held oversight hearings on talc in 2019 and who testified, per the published hearing records.

What this source does not establish

Witness testimony is not a congressional finding; statements by Longo, Metcalf, or other witnesses must be attributed to the witness by name, never rendered as what 'Congress found.'

Limitations

Attribute every substantive claim from these hearings to the named witness. CHRG-116hhrg38735 fully mined 2026-08-04 against the govinfo PDF: panel-two witnesses were Longo, Moline, Etheridge, and Metcalf; Gorsky declined to appear (see tev-jnj-baby-powder-56 and -57).
