Talcum Powder Attorney News: Trial Set in St. Louis Case
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) April 16, 2015 -- Attorneys handling a talcum powder lawsuit* in St. Louis Circuit Court announce an update in court proceedings. Specifically, the firm confirms the scheduling of a trial by jury, set for December 14, 2015 and the establishment of a HIPPA Qualified Protective Order. These talcum powder attorneys provide regular news updates and no-obligation case evaluation at their website.
The case, which was filed on December 5, 2014, represents dozens of plaintiffs originating from more than twenty states nationwide who share a common complaint, according to court documents. The plaintiffs allege they have developed ovarian cancer as a result of using talcum powder based female hygiene products. The defendants in the case, who include the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson and the talc mining company Imerys, have been accused of failing to warn consumers of known risks of ovarian cancer from genital dusting with talcum powder, according to court documents. Some of the plaintiffs allege personal injury and others make claims of wrongful death as a result of ovarian cancer, according to court documents.
The recent establishment of a HIPPA Qualified Protective Order is common in cases that involve medical conditions. This order establishes access to private medical records related to past and projected treatment that are relevant to the case, according to the attorneys handling this talcum powder lawsuit.
Should this talcum powder lawsuit advance to court, a trial by jury has been scheduled to take place in the City of St. Louis under the Honorable Philip Heagney on December 14, 2015, according to court documents.
