Talcum powder is made up of tiny particles of the mineral called \u201ctalc\u201d. Dusting female genitals with talcum powder creates an environment where minuscule talc particles can travel through the reproductive system and become embedded within the ovaries. Wherever the particles settle within the body, a tumor may grow. Clinical studies have found cancerous ovarian tumors with traces of talc.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some talc products were contaminated with asbestos and then sold without warning labels. Talc is often found in nature alongside a similar mineral \u2013 asbestos \u2013 which is known to be a carcinogen. Companies allegedly knew asbestos was detected in its talc products as early as the 1970\u2019s but failed to warn consumers of the risks. Medical researchers have linked the use of contaminated talcum powder to ovarian cancer in women.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Why should I hire a personal injury lawyer to take on my talcum powder lawsuit?&#8221; color=&#8221;green&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221;]Lawsuits involving large product manufacturers like Johnson &amp; Johnson can be complicated and will require the resources that a skilled personal injury attorney can provide you.

Some of these talc products were contaminated with asbestos and then sold without warning labels. Medical researchers have linked the use of contaminated talcum powder to ovarian cancer in women.<\/p>\n<p>Companies allegedly knew asbestos was detected in its talc products as early as the 1970\u2019s, but failed to warn customers of the risks. Their failure to disclose this critical health risk information has led to the filing of more than 16,800 lawsuits.<\/p>\n<p>On May 19th, 2020, a leading producer of talc-based baby powder announced that it is stopping sales of its talc-based baby powder in the U.S. and Canada and retailers are pulling these products from their shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using talc baby or body powder?
