Since 1971, more than 20 credible research studies have linked talcum powder to cancer. A more recent analysis of several studies found that women who have used talc powder were over 30% more likely to develop ovarian cancer.

Repeated use of talcum powder is currently linked to two types of cancer:

Ovarian Cancer

Fallopian tube cancer

If you used talc powder and developed cancer, it is in your best interest to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney about filing a talcum powder lawsuit.

Who Is Eligible to File a Lawsuit?

People who used a cosmetic or commercial talcum powder product and developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma may be eligible to file a talcum powder lawsuit.

In the case of ovarian cancer lawsuits, women must have used talc-containing products around the genital area daily or almost daily before developing ovarian cancer. It is important to note that women who used baby powders made from cornstarch are not eligible for these lawsuits because cornstarch-based powders don’t contain talc.

In October 2019, Johnson & Johnson recalled over 30,000 bottles of baby powder after an FDA test revealed low levels of asbestos, a known carcinogen.
