Who Can File a Talcum Powder Lawsuit?
Women who have used talcum powder as part of their personal hygiene routine regularly and developed ovarian or fallopian tube cancer may be able to file a lawsuit for compensation.
In addition, if the woman is deceased, then her surviving family members may be able to file a lawsuit for compensation.
Scientific Evidence That Talc Causes Cancer
There is mounting evidence that links Johnson and Johnson talcum powder to ovarian cancer. In fact, women who use the product regularly over an extended period of time are at an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. Talcum powder has been marketed and sold as a hygiene product for over a century. In 1971, researchers discovered a link between applying talcum powder to female genitals and a 30% greater risk of ovarian cancer. Now, Johnson & Johnson faces thousands of lawsuits because they failed to disclose the risk of talcum and its link to ovarian cancer.
