Baby Powder Talc linked to Ovarian Cancer
The number of lawsuits linking talcum powder to ovarian cancer keeps growing. Law firms are pursuing litigation against the industry giant, Johnson & Johnson, and others. Studies show that approximately 2,200 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year also used baby power in their genital area regularly.
All of these individuals do not have the gene (BRCA gene) that predisposes someone to ovarian cancer. Biopsies also show talc fibers within the ovarian tumors. The link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer is only a risk for women using talcum powder in the genital area — not for those using talcum powder on other areas of the body. The commonly used Johnson & Johnson “Baby Powder” as well as another product known as “Shower to Shower” are both being linked to ovarian cancer development due to their talc-base.
The baby powder contains talc, as a moisture absorbent, however talc offers no medical value. Those who have been harmed by talcum powder may be eligible for compensation. Contact the law firm if you, or someone you know, might have a claim.
