Studies have shown an association between talcum products, including Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder and Shower to Shower products, and a significantly increased risk of ovarian cancer. Internal documents from Johnson & Johnson reported the finding of talc particles in ovarian tissue. Talc has also been discovered in the tumors of patients with ovarian cancer. Johnson & Johnson, despite being aware of their dangerous internal findings, failed to alert to consumers to the risks of extended talcum powder use.
Juries have recently found Johnson & Johnson negligent for its failure to warn customers of the ovarian cancer risk, with one such verdict against Johnson & Johnson awarding $72 million to the surviving family of a woman who succumbed to ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, her story is not unique. One medical professional estimates 10,000 diagnoses of ovarian cancer annually could be attributed to talcum powder use. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against the makers of talcum powder products so far.
