Holding Corporations Accountable
On July 12, 2018, a monumental verdict was reached in St. Louis, Missouri, as a jury awarded $550 million to 22 courageous women and their families. This landmark case against Johnson & Johnson marked a significant milestone in the fight against talcum powder-induced ovarian cancer.
The Issue:
Thousands of women across the nation have united in legal battles against Johnson & Johnson, alleging that their talcum baby powder and related talc-based products are directly linked to ovarian cancer. The numbers speak volumes—the multidistrict litigation (MDL) now encompasses over 9,000 claims, with more expected to emerge.
Talcum Powder and the Cancer Connection
Talcum powder, commonly used for personal hygiene to prevent rashes and chafing, harbors a hidden danger. As talc particles travel through a woman’s body, they may settle in the ovaries, leading to inflammation and the formation of cysts—a precursor to ovarian cancer.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 18,518 women in the United States are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year.
Unveiling the Truth:
Recent revelations from trials suggest that Johnson & Johnson may have been aware of potential health risks associated with talcum powder for decades. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies some minerals found near talc, such as asbestos, as “carcinogenic to humans” or “possibly carcinogenic to humans”.
