Currently, thousands of women have filed lawsuits across the country against J&J alleging the company failed to warn women and their families of the dangers of talcum powder. While talcum powder product labels warn against inhalation, they do not warn consumers about the dangers of external use.
A study published The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaeology in March 1971 found that 75 percent of the ovarian tumor tissue studied contained particles of talc. Since that time, numerous studies have suggested that minute talc particles can migrate from the vaginal areas to the ovaries where they embed deep within the tissue.
Our attorneys are currently investigating allegations that drug giant J&J knew or should have known about the dangers of external use of talcum powder for women when used externally. In fact, studies have shown that talcum powder used in the genital area can migrate through the vagina, to the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, creating an allegedly statistically significant association between use of talcum powder and ovarian cancer.
Thousands of women have filed talcum powder lawsuits in state and federal courts across the country, and recently a St. Louis jury awarded $72 million to the family of a woman who alleged that her long time use of Johnson & Johnson baby powder contributed to death. For decades, we have been successfully helping individuals just like you fight for the compensation and justice deserved. No fees unless we collect for you!
