Law Firm Files First Talcum Powder Lawsuit On Behalf Of Chicago Woman
September 30, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com, reports on an article by PR Newswire concerning the filing of a lawsuit on behalf of a woman who claims she developed ovarian cancer as a result of using Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower powder.
The article states that Moll Law Firm filed its first talcum powder lawsuit on behalf of a Chicago woman who claims she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 39 after using Johnson & Johnson powder products. The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and alleges that Johnson & Johnson knew or should have known about the hazards associated with the use of its products and negligently failed to warn consumers. The plaintiff had used the powders for feminine hygiene purposes from 1992 through 2014, the source said.
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.
