TALCUM POWDER (BABY POWDER) OVARIAN CANCER LAWSUITS

Research strongly suggest that when talcum powder is applied to a women’s genital area, it can travel into the vagina through the Fallopian tubes to the ovaries.  These extremely fine talcum powder particles can cause cancer cells to form, grow and spread. In 2016 there were two extremely large jury awards that came from jury trials in the State of Missouri against Johnson & Johnson.

Jim S. Hall & Associates is presently investigating cases related to talcum powder use and ovarian cancer.  Talc is a mineral and is ground up to make talcum powder, which is used to absorb moisture and is widely available in various products including baby powder, body powder and facial powder.

This issue has been researched since the early 1970's. One study suggests that out of 13 ovarian cancer cases, 10 were found to have deeply embedded talc particles.  Manufacturers of talcum powder, including Johnson & Johnson have failed to warn consumers about this danger for a very long time.

Some signs and symptoms and complications of ovarian cancer:

• Abdominal bloating
• Fatigue
• Pressure and pain
• Indigestion
• Abdominal fullness after eating
• Heart burn
• Difficulty eating
• Constipation
• Increase in urination
• Menstrual irregularities
• Increase in urge to urinate
• Menstrual cramps
• Back pain
• Painful intercourse
