Listerine was developed as a surgical antiseptic in 1879 by Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert. It was named after Joseph Lister, a pioneer in antiseptic surgery. Lawrence sold his share to Lambert, who produced it under the company name Lambert Pharmacal. Lambert Pharamcal merged with Warner-Hudnut to become Warner-Lambert Pharmaceuticals, which was then acquired by Pfizer, which was subsequently acquired by Johnson and Johnson.
