Talcum powder lawsuits have been making headlines in recent years, as thousands of individuals have filed claims against companies like Johnson & Johnson. These lawsuits allege that the use of talcum powder for feminine hygiene purposes can increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
The controversy surrounding talcum powder and its potential link to cancer began in 1971 when researchers found talc particles in ovarian tumors. Since then, there have been numerous studies investigating this potential connection, with some showing a slight increase in risk while others have found no association.
Despite conflicting evidence, juries have awarded millions of dollars in damages to plaintiffs who claim their ovarian cancer was caused by using talcum powder. In July 2018, a Missouri jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $4.69 billion in damages to 22 women who claimed the company's talcum powder caused their ovarian cancer.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using talcum powder for feminine hygiene purposes, it may be beneficial to speak with an attorney about your legal options.
