TheProductLawyers.com reports on the uses of talcum powder as more lawsuits continue to surround the product.
According to the FDA, “Talc has many uses in cosmetics and other personal care products; in food, such as rice and chewing gum; and in the manufacture of tablets. For example, it may be used to absorb moisture, to prevent caking, to make facial makeup opaque, or to improve the feel of a product.”
Most recently, talc products have come under fire, particularly those made by Johnson & Johnson, after thousands of plaintiffs claim the product causes ovarian cancer. Over the last 45 years, numerous studies have found that women who use baby powder as a feminine hygiene product are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. These powders have been the subject of thousands of lawsuits filed by plaintiffs claiming that they have suffered from ovarian cancer as a result of its use. Johnson & Johnson has maintained denial in these claims and has previously stated that there is no link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. The company has never released a warning about the potential risks of its Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower To Shower products.
Several plaintiffs have already been awarded millions of dollars in compensation and lawsuit numbers are continuing to grow. Most of the filed cases are pending in a Missouri federal court, while others have been filed in New Jersey, where Johnson & Johnson is headquartered.
Banville Law has many years of experience fighting large pharmaceutical companies who have put dangerous drugs and devices onto the market, foregoing public safety for corporate greed.
The firm is looking to assist those who believe they have been directly affected by the use of Johnson’s talcum powder. Affected individuals may be entitled to financial compensation and legal action. Banville Law is currently offering free consultations to individuals who qualify.
