The record

A December 1974 CTFA letter referencing 'worldwide company interests' in the talc standard-setting process is documented in the peer-reviewed review of J&J's internal testing record (PMID 33641519) — the first PubMed-indexed citation bearing on the J4-1 preemption history.

Claim scope

That the cosmetic trade association corresponded about the talc testing standard in December 1974, in terms documented by a peer-reviewed source.

What this source does not establish

Limitations
