Increased Risk: A Look At The Risks Of Developing Ovarian Cancer As Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings Continue
November 14, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the increased risk factors associated with the development of ovarian cancer.
According to Merck, there are several factors that could increase a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer. These risks can include things such as being older, not having any children, having a first child late in life, starting menstruation early, having menopause late and having had cancer of the uterus, breast, or large intestine or having a family member who has had one of these cancers.
These risk factors have recently become even more important to women as thousands file lawsuits claiming ovarian cancer is linked to Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder products. These women, many of whom state that they used the product for feminine hygiene purposes for many years, claim that they developed ovarian cancer after using the products. Many plaintiffs have stated that Johnson & Johnson should be held accountable for fraud and negligence for failing to warn consumers.
Johnson & Johnson has adamantly denied these claims, stating that they are “following the science” and that no such link exists. Some studies over the course of 40 years have found a possible link between the products and cancer while others have found inconclusive evidence.
These lawsuits are expected to grow and Banville Law is seeking to help those currently suffering. The firm has many years of experience fighting large pharmaceutical companies who have put dangerous drugs and devices onto the market, foregoing public safety for corporate greed. Attorneys at Banville Law want to assist those who believe they have been directly affected by the use of Johnson’s talcum powder. Affected individuals may be entitled to financial compensation and legal action. Banville Law is currently offering free consultations to individuals who qualify.
