Preventative Measures: Suggestions For Decreasing Ovarian Cancer Risk As Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings Continue

November 16, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on preventative measures women can take to decrease their risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Certain measures can be taken to help women decrease their chances of developing epithelial ovarian cancer, according to The American Cancer Society. These measures include using oral contraceptives, gynecological surgery such as tubal ligation or hysterectomy and genetic counseling. Most of the common factors only slightly increase your risk, so they only partly explain the frequency of the disease.

Talcum powder’s alleged link to ovarian cancer has been the source of many lawsuits that have been filed against Johnson & Johnson. The lawsuits, which now reach over 2,000 in number suggest that plaintiffs have used their powders and subsequently developed the deadly disease. Plaintiffs argue that the company should be held responsible for charges including fraud and negligence for failing to warn consumers about these alleged risks.

Johnson & Johnson has denied such claims, stating that their products were developed by “following the science” and that no such link exists. Juries, however, have found that the pharmaceutical giant should be held responsible and the company has been made to pay millions in the three trials that have since concluded. Johnson & Johnson is looking to appeal those decisions.

As these lawsuits are expected to grow in numbers, 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.
