In Wake Of Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings, Alternatives Are Offered

September 28, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on an article by The Institute For Natural Healing that offers alternatives to talcum powder in the wake of lawsuits claiming the powders are linked to ovarian cancer.

According to the article, the FDA has not restricted the use of talc and some studies have contradicted the link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. The American Cancer Society stated, however, that with the use of talc powder “there is some suggestion of a possible increase in ovarian cancer risk.” The article offers alternatives to talcum powder including Avalon Organics Cornstarch Baby Powder, Burt’s Bees – Baby Bee Dusting Powder and California Baby Non-Talc Calming Powder.

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 this debilitating disease.

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