Feb. 2026 Book -"NO MORE TEARS: THE DARK SECRETS OF J & J" by GARDINER HARRIS
Details
An incendiary, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America’s oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical
companies—from award-winning investigative journalist Gardiner Harris. One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, early for a flight, sat
down at an airport bar and started talking to the woman on the bar stool beside him. She was a drug sales rep for Johnson &
Johnson, and her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family
fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris covered the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for The New
York Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that conversation led to new federal laws and ultimately
to No More Tears, a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the
world.Harris takes us light years away from the company’s image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of
evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers
multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding baby powder’s link to cancer; the surprising dangers of Tylenol; a criminal
campaign to sell dangerous anti-psychotics to children; a popular drug for cancer patients that increases the risk of tumor
growth. Deceptive marketing efforts that accelerated opioid addictions rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma. All
told, Johnson & Johnson's products have helped cause drug crises that have contributed to the deaths of as many as two
million people and counting. Filled with shocking, infuriating, but utterly necessary revelations, No More Tears is a landmark
work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deeply rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile.
