Talcum Powder Linked to Ovarian Cancer
Numerous studies have been conducted to determine whether talc, the main ingredient in talcum powder, can cause ovarian cancer. Data from over a dozen American Cancer Society studies has shown that women who use products containing talc may be 30% more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who use talc-free products.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified talc-based powder as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” when used in the genital area, according to the American Cancer Society. The body cannot break down talc, and when it is used in the genital area it may travel through the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes into the ovaries, where it may cause irritation or lead to the development of cancerous cells.
Who Is Liable for Talc Injuries?
Johnson & Johnson has also been ordered to pay millions in damages to women who developed ovarian cancer after using the company’s talcum powder products. In 2016, Johnson & Johnson was ordered to pay $72 million in damages to the family of a woman who died from ovarian cancer after using talcum powder hygiene products for 30 years. Also, in 2016, a jury ordered the company to pay $55 million in damages to an ovarian cancer survivor.
