Judicial Panel Scheduled For Hearing Concerning Creation Of MDL For Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings

September 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on recent developments in the creation of a Multidistrict Litigation Panel for talcum powder lawsuits.

The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 29 in order to hear arguments for the creation of an MDL concerning talcum powder cases. The panel stated that oral arguments would begin at 9:30 a.m. at the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse in Washington, D.C. Recently, the creation of an MDL for talcum powder cases in Washington D.C. has been opposed by both sides, according to HarrisMartin Publishing.

Thousands of women in the U.S. have made claims alleging that Johnson & Johnson hid valuable medical information that prevented consumers from knowing the dangers of using the powders. Those plaintiffs further claim that the use of Johnson & Johnson’s powders as a feminine hygiene product are directly linked to ovarian cancer. Johnson & Johnson has denied claims that their products cause cancer and has stated that no causal link exists.

These suits are backed by studies done over the last 45 years that have found that women who use baby powder as a feminine hygiene product are more likely to develop this debilitating disease.
