Talcum Powder/Baby Powder Lawsuit

For decades women used talcum powder for personal hygiene, as recommended by the makers of the product. Unfortunately, scientists and doctors have found a link between the powder and ovarian cancer, causing immense pain, suffering and loss of life to countless women who trusted the manufacturers of these products.

The powder, used in household products, is made of ground up talc – which is a natural substance. The products used by women for hygiene include Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder and Valeant Pharmaceuticals’ Shower to Shower. The primary use of these products is to keep skin, primarily in the genital area for women, dry and prevent rashes however some tampons and feminine pads use this powder as well.

It is estimated that regular talcum powder usage is related to roughly 10% of all American women diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. Ovarian cancer is the deadliest form of cancer for women due to it not being easily detectable until it is too late.

Studies have revealed that women who regularly use talcum powder products in the genital area are at an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. These products are unregulated by the government in spite of these findings. Manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson and Valeant Pharmaceuticals also don’t warn consumers of the potential risk of using these products.
