Johnson & Johnson removed two risks related to its Consumer Health separation, reflecting the completion or abandonment of that strategic initiative, while adding a new risk regarding complex governmental regulations across operating countries. Twelve of the company's existing risk disclosures were substantively modified, with notable updates to liquidity and credit rating risks, international operations exposure, and competitive market pressures, suggesting J&J refined its risk characterization in response to evolving market conditions and regulatory environments.
