Fair use rationale for Image:Ethicon.gif
Image:Ethicon.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Sociological significance?
Perhaps it is worth noting in the page something about the sociological significance of the company, particularly as regards the madisonian vs. transformational leadership argument. See "Inhuman Relations: Quality Circles and Anti-Unionism in American Industry" by Guillermo J. Grenier, and "The Trouble With Transformational Leadership" by Michael Keeley for more info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.10.37.25 (talk) 05:04, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

I think this should be reviewed for NPOV and sourcing:

On May 24, 2016 Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a consumer protection lawsuit today against Ethicon's parent company, Johnson & Johnson. In the suit, the Johnson & Johnson is accused of knowingly concealing the risks associated with Ethicon's surgical mesh designed to treat pelvic floor issues in women. As a result of their deceit, thousands of Washington women face urinary and defecatory dysfunction, chronic inflammation, chronic pain, and risk of chronic infection, and loss of sexual function.

On the same day, California's Attorney General Kamala D. Harris also filed a lawsuit against Ethicon's parent company, Johnson & Johnson, for false advertising and deceptive marketing of Ethicon's surgical mesh products for women. The complaint filed by Attorney General Harris on alleges that Ethicon's parent company misrepresented the frequency and severity of risks and neglected to inform both patients and doctors of possibility of severe complications. "Johnson & Johnson [Ethicon's parent company] put millions of women at risk of severe health problems by failing to provide critical information to doctors and patients about its surgical mesh products" [manufactured by Ethicon], said Attorney General Harris. “Johnson & Johnson’s deception denied women the ability to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. My office will continue to hold companies accountable for misleading consumers and patients for financial gain.”

From 2008 to 2014, 787,232 devices were sold by Ethicon in the United States alone. It is estimated that over 2,000,000 women across the globe were implanted with Ethicon's Gynecare pelvic mesh.

 * Considering that everyone is innocent unless proven guilty (including companies), as well that anyone is free to file a lawsuit against anyone, I see it pointless to include such information as long as a guilty verdict is not there. — kashmiri  TALK  08:05, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
