National Talcum Powder Attorneys Expand Website to Differentiate Class Action Lawsuits from Talcum Powder Personal Injury Claims
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 30, 2014 -- Talcum powder attorneys at The Onder Law Firm announce an expansion to their Talcum Powder Lawsuit Center website, now offering new information to help the public differentiate between class action lawsuits and personal injury claims at talcumpowdercancerlawsuitcenter.com/talcum-powder-lawsuit.asp.
At least two individual class actions that have been filed against the corporation, asserting that consumers should have been warned about the potential for cancer from using talcum powder. Jim Onder, a talcum powder attorney handling cases nation-wide for The Onder Law Firm, seeks to raise awareness about the difference between class action lawsuits for women who bought talcum powder and personal injury claims made by persons who have suffered ovarian cancer that may be linked to talcum powder use: “We want to make sure that women who have been harmed by ovarian cancer understand they have legal options for seeking justice.” More information about filing a lawsuit with a talcum powder attorney is available at the firm’s website.
To date, the two prominent class actions that have been filed against talcum powder producer Johnson & Johnson include:
Barbara Mihalich’s lawsuit, filed in in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Illinois on May 23, 2014 makes the argument that consumers wrongly “expect talc to be safe to use”, on the basis of misleading product advertising: “Johnson’s Baby Powder is not safe. As numerous studies have confirmed, Johnson’s Baby Powder leads to a significant increased risk of ovarian cancer. Women who used talc-based powders to powder their genital area have a 33% increased risk of ovarian cancer compared to those women who never used the powders.” Finally, the lawsuit concludes that women using talcum powder for genital dusting have “purchased a product which is potentially lethal”. This class action lawsuit aims to establish a class among women in Illinois who have purchased Johnson’s talcum powder products in the past five years.
Mona Estrada filed a similar lawsuit*** in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on April 28, 2014. This suit aimed to establish a class among women who had bought Johnson’s Baby Powder, demanding a warning on the product label.
Talcum powder attorneys welcome inquiries from persons and families of persons who were diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using talcum powder products for genital dusting. Talcum powder attorneys are investigating these inquiries for possible claims against Johnson & Johnson.
