Jury Decisions In Talcum Powder Lawsuit Proceedings Harm Johnson & Johnson Image

October 27, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on an article by Ad Age discussing the effects of talcum powder lawsuits on Johnson & Johnson’s image.

According to the site, talcum powder lawsuits filed against Johnson & Johnson have resulted in major financial losses for the company in payouts to plaintiffs. As a result of these jury decisions, the company’s YouGov BrandIndex Buzz score has declined by more than two-thirds. Johnson & Johnson reached its lowest score in three years, according to the site.

The impact of these cases is no small matter. Many women have begun filing lawsuits claiming that the powders are directly linked to the development of ovarian cancer. Many women have alleged in these suits that Johnson & Johnson purposely concealed valuable health information about its alleged link to the disease and asserts that the company should be held responsible. In some cases, family members have filed on behalf of loved ones who died of ovarian or other kinds of cancer they say were linked to the use of Johnson & Johnson’s powders.

Over the last 45 years, numerous studies have found that women who use baby powder as a feminine hygiene product are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. Other research, however, has found inconclusive results. Johnson & Johnson has maintained denial in these claims and has previously stated that there is no link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. The company has never released a warning about the potential risks of its Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower To Shower products.
