Overview of Talcum Powder Lawsuits
For decades, talc powder and talc based baby powder has been a common household item in the United States.
It has been used to relieve diaper rash, absorb moisture, and eliminate odors.
Recent findings have shown that talc-containing products, such as Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder, may increase the risk of ovarian cancer or mesothelioma in frequent users.
Naturally occurring talc is often found in the same areas as asbestos, a carcinogenic mineral.
If safe mining practices aren’t implemented, asbestos contamination is a risk for much of the talcum used in consumer goods.
Asbestos exposure is dangerous, and it has been linked to several types of cancer.
In 2019, the FDA conducted a study that revealed that several different types of talc products contained asbestos.
There have been voluntary recalls of talcum powder products by some businesses, including Johnson & Johnson, although many others are still on store shelves.
Talcum Powder and Asbestos Contamination
Researchers have been studying the link between ovarian cancer and the use of talcum powder on female genitalia since at least the 1970s.
Women who use talcum powder on their genital area may be exposing their ovaries to asbestos because the powder is absorbed through the vagina.
These talc particles can’t be flushed out by the body, so they remain and continue to inflame the area.
When this swelling persists over time, it can lead to developing ovarian cancer.
Asbestos and talcum powder exposure can also cause mesothelioma.
About eight out of ten mesothelioma patients had exposure to the cancer-causing material, according to the American Cancer Society.
Inhaling talc powder, which may include asbestos fibers, can cause damage to the lungs, including inflammation and scarring.
This can lead to cancer over time.
Talcum Powder Lawsuit Settlements
As the largest distributor of talc-based baby powder, Johnson & Johnson is being sued by women all over the country who have developed cancer or other illnesses after using the product.
In the same year, 22 women received a total of $2.12 billion to settle legal proceedings involving talcum powder.
In April 2023, Johnson & Johnson offered nearly $9 billion to settle almost 40,000 Talcum Powder Lawsuits.
The settlement offer has not been agreed to, requiring 75% of plaintiffs attorneys involved to agree upon the matter.
Some lawyers are arguing that the settlement offer does not fully cover the breadth of damage caused by toxic Johnson & Johnson talc products, and that the legal strategy used by J&J undermines the credibility of the civil litigation process.
Other attorneys involved in the Talcum Powder Lawsuit contend that plaintiffs have waited far too long for compensation in their Talc Lawsuits and urgently need that money to pay for medical expenses and other damages incurred.
