Personal Injury Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filed In California

October 31, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recently lawsuit filed in California in regard to talcum powder and its alleged link to cancer.

The lawsuit (case number: 2:16-cv-09309) alleges that Johnson & Johnson was aware that the talc products may increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer, but failed to warn consumers and the public of the known health hazard. The suit was filed on behalf of a deceased plaintiff who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 52 after using the products for many years.

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. In 1999, gynecologists at Brigham and Women’s ended their study, which found a 60 percent increase in the rate of ovarian cancer among women who used talc in their genital areas.

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.
