Debate Over Safety Continues Despite Growing Number Of Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings

November 10, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recent article by Oncology Nursing News regarding the debate over talcum powder safety.

The news source states that while these cases have gone to trial and resulted in major settlements for plaintiffs, other groups are still uncertain about the alleged link between talcum powder and cancer. Following the latest verdict in which a California woman was awarded $70 million by a St. Louis jury, Johnson & Johnson says they will be appealing the decision and adamantly claim that they are “guided by the science.” Despite three large settlements in favor of plaintiffs, two other cases in New Jersey with similar allegations against Johnson & Johnson were dismissed for lack of scientific evidence linking the two, the source said.

Still, thousands of women have come forward claiming that Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder and talc products caused them to develop ovarian cancer. These women claim that after using the talcum products for feminine hygiene purposes for many years, they were diagnosed with the deadly disease. The plaintiffs insist that Johnson & Johnson be held responsible on charges of fraud, negligence, and others for failing to tell consumers about the alleged dangers of their products.
