When we buy everyday products for our homes, we trust the hands of the producers. We assume that this product has been tested and proven safe for families.

So if it is claimed that staple foods like talcum powder cause ovarian cancer and manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson have known about cancer risk for decades but have not warned consumers, it is an attack on the American people.

What's worse, Johnson and Johnson are targeting their talc products to African-American women through advertising campaigns and company internal records. This causes African-American consumers to use powder more often.

Johnson and Johnson are reported to have known cancer risks from their products, and the company still encourages powder for women – especially African-Americans – as a safe product.

If you or someone you love has ovarian cancer after using powder, lawyers can help you get compensation for your injuries and hold the producer accountable for their alleged fraud and neglect.

Talcum powder consists of soft clay minerals used in baby powder and other cosmetics. Because the powder absorbs moisture, it is usually used for female hygiene and removes odors.

Manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson advertise their talc powder mainly for women's hygiene. As a result, many women regularly use products in their genital area to increase freshness.

Talcum powder can be responsible for up to 10,000 cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed each year. Talc powder is widely available for adults and infants and is commercially available. This is used to absorb body moisture. However, research shows that it can be dangerous as talcum powder causes ovarian cancer. Frequent use of talcum powder for women's hygiene is associated with ovarian cancer.

If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using powder, especially those made by pharmaceutical giants Johnson & Johnson (J&J), lawyer can discuss how to apply for compensation. Our product liability lawyers conduct business and aggressively fight opposition at every opportunity.

Ovarian cancer is the only aggressive form of cancer associated with Johnson & Johnson powder products. In New Jersey, a man claims to have breathed in dust from J&J talc products for decades due to his routine use, which made him develop mesothelioma, a form of cancer that mainly develops in the lungs after frequent contact with asbestos.

He was sentenced to $ 37 million in April 2018, and the jury has not yet decided whether to provide compensation. The final result of this case is remarkable because it is the court's first recognition that powder products contain traces of asbestos, a famous carcinogen.

If you or a family member might experience an injury, illness, or cancer that you believe is related to powder or other dangerous drugs, contact lawyers that are experience in legal responsibility.
