As Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings Mount, New Drug Offers Hope For Ovarian Cancer Patients

October 27, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on an article by Fox News indicating that a new form of drug may help ovarian cancer patients in their recovery.

The article states, “the drugs, known as PARP inhibitors, are thought to help the body slow the disease’s progression by helping to prevent cancer cells from repairing themselves after chemotherapy treatment, thereby shrinking tumors and delaying relapses.” The new drugs are thought to work best in women with specific gene mutations.

Ovarian cancer has been under a spotlight lately due to the increasing number of lawsuits that have been filed against companies such as Johnson & Johnson claiming that their products cause the deadly disease. 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. The powder was later discovered to cause problems, leading to the first case claiming the product causes ovarian cancer in 2009.

Thousands of women in the U.S. have since 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.
