Abstract

The multinational drug and medical device manufacturer Johnson & Johnson has been advertising its products in a resource book used by children in Australian classrooms.

The book, BodyWhys, is sponsored by Johnson & Johnson and contains several advertisements for Johnson & Johnson products, including tampons, sanitary pads, toothbrushes, and pimple cream.

Along with the advertisements, BodyWhys, which was recently distributed to 10 year old children in a state school in Sydney's wealthy eastern suburbs, contains text about personal development.
