"An explosive, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America's oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies--from an award-winning investigative journalist"-- Provided by publisher.

In No More Tears, Gardiner Harris, a former pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, uncovers the dark truth behind Johnson & Johnson, one of the largest healthcare companies in the world. After a chance encounter with a sales rep in 2004, Harris became determined to expose the company's unethical practices, which he documents in this powerful exposé. Through years of investigation, he reveals multiple scandals, including the dangers of Johnson's Baby Powder linked to cancer, harmful side effects of Tylenol, deceptive marketing of antipsychotics, and the role the company played in fueling the opioid crisis. Harris's investigation challenges the public image of Johnson & Johnson as a trusted, child-friendly company, revealing a history of deceit and corruption that has harmed millions. No More Tears is a hard-hitting look at the dangerous practices hidden behind the company's wholesome reputation.
