Subject: Johnson& Johnson's Ethnic Bandage 



Ethnic bandage - Every day, millions of people worldwide reach for a 
Band-Aid. According to its makers, Johnson&Johnson, this sterile adhesive 
dressing is one of "the world's most trusted woundcare products." Not 
everyone can wear them discreetly, though: The pinkish hue of Band-Aids 
stands out glaringly on dark flesh. Now, however, darker-skinned people can 
dress their wounds with Multiskins, the "adhesive bandages for the human 
race." Produced in the USA, the "ethnically sensitive" dressings come in 
three shades of brown.
