Georgia Court Agrees To A Stay On Talcum Powder Lawsuit With Exception Of Plaintiff’s Deposition

September 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recent agreement made by a Georgia court to stay proceedings in a talcum powder case with the exception of the plaintiff’s deposition.

HarrisMartin Publishing reported that a federal court in Georgia has agreed to halt all proceedings in one of their talcum powder cases outside of a plaintiff’s deposition. The decision to go forth with the deposition is based on to the plaintiff’s terminal diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The plaintiff asked for the deposition to preserve her testimony, the source said.

This recently stayed case is only one of many that have been filed against Johnson & Johnson regarding their talcum powder products.

Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder soared in popularity after 1892 when the director of scientific affairs Dr. Frederick B. Kilmer first invented a scented powder that was originally labeled “for toilet and nursery,” according to the Huffington Post. Many women then started using it to sprinkle it in their underwear and genital area for freshening purposes.

Thousands of women in the U.S. have now made similar 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.
