While research is still being conducted to determine the true impact of talcum powder, data has indicated that consistent talcum powder use is linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer and other kinds of damage to women’s reproductive systems. Medical research linking talcum powder use with ovarian cancer dates back to 1971 when a study discovered talc particles in ovarian tissue among many women suffering from ovarian cancer.
Prior to the 1970s and even today, some talc products have been found to contain asbestos, a known carcinogen. Similar to asbestos, talc is a silicate mineral that, when ingested, has been found to cause chronic inflammation that can eventually lead to the formation of cancerous tumors.
Some medical researchers believe that regular use of talc powder may cause chronic inflammation of the genital area, as the particles travel through the uterus to the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It has been suggested that continuous use of talc products can increase a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer by as much as 30%.
For many decades, women thought it was safe to use talcum-based products on sanitary pads, undergarments or on their body directly in order to keep their groin area comfortable, cool and fresh. During this process, the reproductive tracts of many of the women who used talcum powder were exposed to risks.
Any woman who has regularly used talcum powder, which reportedly 20% of American women do, may be at risk of developing ovarian cancer caused by exposure to talc. Although the debate about the true severity of the risks posed by this product still rages on, educating yourself and determining whether talcum powder could be partly or fully responsible for an ovarian cancer diagnosis is your safest bet.
Despite the findings about the severe long-term health risks of talcum powder, Johnson & Johnson® has continuously defended the safety of their product. Women are filing lawsuits across the country alleging that the company knew about the dangers and failed to properly warn consumers about the potential risk of ovarian cancer through their marketing and packaging.
In fact, plaintiffs argue that Johnson & Johnson® knew about the health risks for more than 40 years.
If you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using talcum powder, contact Goldwater Law Firm to take the first step towards the justice and compensation you deserve.
Johnson & Johnson® has faced many lawsuits over the safety of their talcum powder products and women continue to take legal action every day.
In 2014, Johnson & Johnson® found itself the subject of two separate class action lawsuits, both alleging the company was responsible for women who were diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using talcum powder products.
In 2016, a jury ordered Johnson & Johnson® to pay $55 million to a woman who was being treated for ovarian cancer after using the company’s talc powder product for decades.
In 2018, a jury in St. Louis favored the case of 22 women, awarding $4.46 billion against Johnson & Johnson® for the women’s ovarian cancers related to the use of talc powder containing asbestos fibers.
There have been a number of other settlements and verdicts and there are currently thousands of pending lawsuits across the country against Johnson & Johnson®.
