Some say fetal tissue is used on many products like cosmetics, medicine, food etc but that needs to be looked more into detail since it is exaggerated;

Cosmetics: Neocutis Inc. used fetal tissue in their beauty products but so far that is the only company doing so.

Food: Synimex is the company who have the additives used in soft drinks and others and in 2010 a pro-life organisation accused them of using fetal tissue in it. When they wrote a letter to the CEO and was ignored they sent letters to the companies using the additives and then started a boycott. They say Synimex have not denied using fetal tissue but that also mean they have not confirmed it. They choose to ignore the pro-life groups claim.

Medicine: In South Korea they found pills contaning fetal tissue dried and made into powder, used as stamina boosters. The pills were contained and is illegal.

Vaccine: Yes, cells from aborted fetuses from back in the 1960's are used for making vaccines. Vaccine can not be made without cells from someone who had the disease and as we know was aboriton illegal back then unless for health reasons so they clearly had good reasons for both the abortion and for donating the tissue to science. Today in 2012 the same cells from the 60's are used.
