Delaware Sees 10 New Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings

November 30, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on new cases that have been filed in Delaware State Court regarding talcum powder.

According to HarrisMartin Publishing, Plaintiffs have filed 10 separate talcum powder lawsuits in Delaware state court and have asked the court to create a coordinated docket for the pending claims, according to recent court documents. The cases have been filed against Johnson & Johnson in Delaware Superior Court.

Many women have claimed that the use of Johnson & Johnson’s powder for feminine hygiene purposes has been directly linked to their development of ovarian cancer. Thousands of plaintiffs have filed suits so far concerning the alleged effects of these powders. Many have already been awarded millions of dollars in compensation and lawsuit numbers are continuing to grow. Most of the filed cases are pending in a Missouri federal court, while others have been filed in New Jersey, where Johnson & Johnson is headquartered.

The first talcum powder lawsuit was filed in 2009 by a woman from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The plaintiff was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2006 when she was 49 years old, according to an article by Huffington Post. The plaintiff filed the complaint claiming Johnson & Johnson should be held accountable for gross negligence and fraud. Though a jury confirmed the association between cancer and talcum powder, the plaintiff was offered no compensatory damages.
