Johnson & Johnson has been in the spotlight since 2014 regarding its talc-based baby powder products, as many believe their products cause ovarian cancer. Talc is a mineral made up of various elements, including magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Talc is ground to make talcum powder, which is used as a moisture-absorbing ingredient in products that are widely available like baby and facial powders, cosmetics, feminine washes, sanitary napkins, tampons, vaginal deodorants, and other consumer products. Talc does not break down in the body and it can travel through a woman’s vagina, uterus, J&J to Stop Selling Talc Baby Powder

and fallopian tubes into her ovaries, causing irritation and possibly cancer. Juries have awarded billions of dollars to plaintiffs in cases involving these products across the U.S. in the past few years. We are NOT suggesting you have been injured by a Johnson & Johnson product containing talcum. We also are NOT suggesting that all, or even most, people become injured or damaged as a result of using Johnson & Johnson products containing talcum. We are simply stating that accepted medical research shows that some women have suffered from ovarian cancer as a result of using Johnson & Johnson products.

If you or someone you know has been damaged by a talcum powder product, then please contact us at (812) 231-5128 for a free consultation.
