Since the 1970s, dozens of studies have linked talcum powder to ovarian cancer. A risk that Johnson & Johnson has been aware of since the first study in 1971. Each year, more than 20,000 American women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, a portion of those is likely the result of talc.

In 1971, researchers found that applying talc-based baby powder to female genitals and a 30% greater risk of ovarian cancer. In fact, women who use the product regularly over an extended period of time are at an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. Talcum powder does not break down in the body and can travel through a woman’s vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes and into her ovaries. When talc becomes embedded in the ovarian walls, it can cause irritation in the cell walls which may lead to cancer.
Talcum powder has been marketed and sold as a hygiene product for over a century.

In 2006, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recognized talc as a possible carcinogen if used by women in the genital area. Talcum powder lawsuits state that the manufacturers failed to warn users of the increased cancer risks. The suits allege that these risks stem from cosmetic use in genital areas.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys claim the manufacturers of talcum powder have known for more than 40 years there is a link between using the product near the genital area and ovarian cancer. However, these companies intentionally chose not to warn women that the powder could cause cancer by entering the vagina after application on or around the genital area.
While recent headlines have primarily focused on Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder, other companies have also come under fire for talc powder products. Colgate-Palmolive settled a mesothelioma lawsuit after a woman developed the lung disease.

According to recent reports, Johnson & Johnson has set aside $3.9 billion for litigation expenses related to talc lawsuit—about double the original amount the company set aside for settlements over their talc-based baby powder in November 2020.
Baby powder is currently at the center of thousands of lawsuits for its connection to ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. Traditionally, baby powder has been a staple in many women’s personal hygiene routines. In fact, women have been using baby powder as a feminine hygiene product for decades to control sweat and odor. However, as science continues to strengthen the link between baby powder and ovarian cancer, many women have sought alternatives to talc. With women putting their health first, sales for the product have declined significantly. So much so, that in May 2020, Johnson & Johnson announced that it will stop selling talc-based baby powder.
Johnson & Johnson is signaling a settlement in the very near future. It’s important to meet with an attorney right away to ensure you get the money you deserve.

Over 50 years ago, British researchers began looking at ovarian tumors and found talc particles deeply embedded in 76% of the ovarian tumors they observed. The study published in 1971 and was the first to raise concerns about the possibility that talcum-base baby powder increased ovarian cancer risks.
In 1982, epidemiologist Daniel Cramer of Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Bosten published a study in the medical journal Cancer. Cramer’s study showed the first statistical link between genital talc use and ovarian cancer. Shortly after Cramer’s publication, he received a call from an executive at Johnson & Johnson. Cramer said Semple tried to convince him the product was a harmless habit. On the other hand, Cramer tried to convince Semple that women should be warned of the risks presented by talcum powder use. Cramer later served as a paid expert and witness for the plaintiff in a 2011 court filing.
For years, companies have known about the link between talc powder and ovarian cancer, however, they have continued to sell and encourage its use among women. This failure to protect women from a clearly dangerous product has opened these companies up to talcum powder cancer lawsuits. If you or a loved one have developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma because of prolonged cosmetic talc powder use, contact a talcum lawsuit lawyer today.

Women who have been applying talcum powder regularly in the genital area have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. When a person uses talc on or near the genitals, talc particles may travel from the vagina into the ovaries where they remain trapped. The trapped talc particles can cause inflammation, leading to the growth of cancer cells. The longer talc is used for this purpose, the more likely someone is to develop ovarian cancer. Research studies say women who use talcum powder are about 30% more likely to receive an ovarian cancer diagnosis than women who don’t.
In many cases, ovarian cancer symptoms are not apparent in the early stages of the disease. Other times, they mimic common digestive issues that lead to mistaken minor ailments. This is dangerous because by the time the symptoms become obvious and the cancer is detected, it may have spread beyond the ovaries, affecting other organs and tissues. The advanced stage of cancer makes it much harder to treat. Ovarian cancer is a deadly disease taking about 14,000 lives annually.
If the talc mineral embeds in the fallopian tubes, ovaries or pelvic-area lymph nodes, the particles will be present over time. The minerals that formulate talc do not break down over time. This means that the lab pathologist may be able to locate talc mineral fibers through a microscope in a tissue biopsy taken by your doctor and use it as evidence to support your claim.
Most states have a statute of limitations in place for talcum powder lawsuits so it will depend on the exact statute of limitations for your state. However, if you suspect you may have developed ovarian cancer due to the use of talc, you have no time to waste. Failing to file before the statute expires will forever forfeit your right to seek financial compensation.
