Talcum Powder
Linked To Ovarian Cancer

image product

Talcum powder or "talc", introduced by Johnson & Johnson decades ago, has been a staple in households for personal hygiene for decades. However recent studies¹¹ have linked talcum powder products, such as Johnson's Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower, to serious health risks, including ovarian cancer² and mesothelioma¹². These studies may indicate that talc, contaminated with asbestos, poses a significant danger.

Now, thousands of individuals are taking action against Johnson & Johnson and other manufacturers, filing lawsuits that allege the companies failed to warn consumers about the potential risks associated with talcum powder use.

Talcum Powder Lawsuit Updates

  • Over 62,000 lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson, alleging harm caused by their talcum powder products.1
  • Johnson & Johnson has proposed an over $9 billion settlement to resolve these claims through bankruptcy, which would be paid over 25 years.1
  • Studies have found a 33% increase in ovarian cancer risk associated with regular use of talcum powder.2
  • Victims have already been awarded more than $2 billion in verdicts from trials involving individual plaintiffs.3
  • Johnson & Johnson is trying to file for bankruptcy through a subsidiary, which may limit the ability to file new lawsuits in the future.4
