Talcum Powder Lawsuit

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit: Can Baby Powder Cause Ovarian Cancer?

Talcum powder is one of the most commonly used ingredients in health and beauty products, such as Johnson's Baby Powder® and Shower to Shower®. Unfortunately, research studies have found a connection between talcum powder use and ovarian cancer, leading many victims to file lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson.

For years, large companies like Johnson & Johnson have manufactured products that contain talcum powder. These products, such as Baby Powder and Shower to Shower®, have been marketed and sold as being safe and effective for adults to use. Medical professionals have known for years that products containing talcum powder could pose a threat to babies and children if they breathed in the small dust-like particles. However, a number of consumers have come forward to file claims in the talcum powder lawsuit after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer that is believed to be caused by these products. Many women have used Baby Powder or Shower to Shower® for decades to keep the genital area cool and comfortable. Additionally, birth control products, such as condoms or diaphragms, have been coated with these talc-based powders. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after prolonged exposure to Johnson’s Baby Powder or Shower to Shower®, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Please contact an experienced defective products attorney today to explore your legal rights.

Studies dating back to the 1970s have found a connection between talcum powder use and an increased incidence of ovarian cancer.

Talcum Powder Lawsuits

Lawsuits that have already been filed allege that Johnson & Johnson were aware of the increased risks associated with talcum powder use, but chose to conceal those dangers from the public. Additional charges that have been made against the manufacturer include:

Violating consumers’ legal remedies
Violating the Unfair Competition Law
Violating business and professions code
Negligence
Breach of implied warranty
Failure to warn

Who Is Eligible to File a Lawsuit?

People who used a cosmetic or commercial talcum powder product and developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma may be eligible to file a talcum powder lawsuit.

In the case of ovarian cancer lawsuits, women must have used talc-containing products around the genital area daily or almost daily before developing ovarian cancer. It is important to note that women who used baby powders made from cornstarch are not eligible for these lawsuits because cornstarch-based powders don’t contain talc.

Class Action Lawsuits

Separate class action lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson in California and Illinois. It is important to note that the lead plaintiffs in each case have not been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, but have used talcum-based products for many years. These lawsuits have been filed on behalf of the lead plaintiffs and “other similarly situated consumers.”
