The Talcum Powder Cancer Crisis
For decades, Johnson & Johnson marketed their talcum powder products, including Johnson's Baby Powder and Shower to Shower, as safe for daily use. However, thousands of scientific studies and court cases have revealed that these products contain asbestos-contaminated talc and may cause ovarian cancer and mesothelioma when used in the genital area.
Cancers Linked to Talcum Powder:
- Ovarian Cancer: Women who used talcum powder for feminine hygiene have a significantly increased risk of developing ovarian cancer
- Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer of the lining of internal organs, caused by asbestos exposure from contaminated talc
- Other Cancers: Studies also suggest potential links to other cancers
Who May Qualify for a Talcum Powder Lawsuit:
- Women who used Johnson's Baby Powder or Shower to Shower for feminine hygiene and were diagnosed with ovarian cancer
- Individuals who used talcum powder and developed mesothelioma
- Family members of women who died from ovarian cancer or mesothelioma after talcum powder use
- Women who used talcum powder regularly for 4+ years before diagnosis
- Those diagnosed with cancer at age 55 or younger who used talcum powder
Why Johnson & Johnson Is Liable:
- Knew About the Risks: Internal documents show J&J knew about cancer risks since the 1970s but failed to warn consumers
- Asbestos Contamination: J&J's talc mines contained asbestos, which was knowingly included in their products
- Failed to Warn: The company continued to market products as safe despite knowing the cancer risks
- Covered Up Evidence: Destroyed documents and concealed test results showing asbestos contamination
- Targeted Vulnerable Groups: Specifically marketed to women, African American women, and overweight women

- $2.12 billion verdict for 22 women with ovarian cancer
- $4.7 billion verdict for 22 women and their families
