Johnson & Johnson Talc Powder Lawsuit
Some women who have used Johnson & Johnson talc-based powders Shower to Shower and Baby Powder have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Some lawsuits are charging that Johnson & Johnson knew about the risk but didn’t inform the public.
What Is The Risk?
This personal injury lawsuit and others like it have to do with women who used talc on their genitals over many years to control odor and moisture. For decades, studies have shown a link between talc powders used on the genitals and ovarian cancer; and yet Johnson & Johnson has failed to advertise that risk via labeling. This negligence on the part of Johnson & Johnson has put many at a risk for a devastating and often fatal disease. What’s worse, there is evidence that the company may have known of this risk as far back as 1982.
