Talcum Powder / Baby Powder Linked to
Ovarian Cancer & Mesothelioma
If you or a loved one regularly used Johnson & Johnson talcum powder, baby powder, or Shower to Shower and developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma, you may be entitled to substantial compensation.
What is Talcum Powder?
Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder and Shower to Shower talcum powder were marketed for decades as safe for feminine hygiene and daily use. Many women used these products daily in the genital area for freshness and odor control.
Lawsuits allege the talc was contaminated with asbestos, a known carcinogen, leading to ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
Talcum Powder Linked to Ovarian Cancer & Mesothelioma
Talc particles can travel from the vagina to the ovaries and peritoneum, causing chronic inflammation that leads to cancer.
Cancers Caused
Ovarian cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma, fallopian tube cancer, and endometrial cancer in women who used talcum powder in the genital area.
Strong Evidence
- Decades of internal J&J documents show asbestos contamination
