TheProductLawyers.com reports on a case that was recently filed on behalf of a woman who died in March of ovarian cancer.
According to an article by The Exponent Telegram, the daughter of a Pennsboro woman who died this year of ovarian cancer has sued baby powder manufacturer Johnson & Johnson and a California-based talc mining company. The plaintiff filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Clarksburg and demands a jury trial in addition to requests for compensation.She is among thousands of others who have taken their cases to court claiming that talcum powder and ovarian cancer are directly linked.
The first talcum powder lawsuit was filed in 2009 by a woman from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2006 when she was 49 years old, according to an article by Huffington Post. She had allegedly used Johnson & Johnson powder for feminine hygiene purposes for many years.The plaintiff filed the complaint claiming Johnson & Johnson should be held accountable for gross negligence and fraud. Though a jury confirmed the association between cancer and talcum powder, the plaintiff was offered no compensatory damages.
Many women have claimed that the use of Johnson & Johnson’s powder for feminine hygiene purposes has been directly linked to their development of ovarian cancer. Thousands of plaintiffs have filed suits so far concerning the alleged effects of these powders. Many 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.
