As Talcum Powder Lawsuit Numbers Grow, Study Finds Gaps In Health Coverage For Women

September 28, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on an article by NPR indicating that women who need care involved with ovarian or breast cancer may not get the care they need.

According to the article, a study found that many marketplace health plan documents contain language that allows them to refuse to cover a range of services that are used more often by women. The researchers reviewed plans’ detailed documents and identified six types of excluded services, including gene mutation testing, that could have a disproportionate impact on women’s health care, the article said.

The information is especially relevant given the growing number of lawsuits that have been filed against Johnson & Johnson claiming that their talcum powder products cause ovarian cancer. These cases follow numerous 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 ovarian cancer. 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.

Three state court juries have decided that Johnson & Johnson should be held accountable for hiding decades of medical evidence from the public. Several plaintiffs 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.
