This talcum powder lawsuit is presided over by Judge Rex M. Burlison. This particular case represents more than sixty women or families of women who allege their diagnosis of ovarian cancer is linked to their routine use of talcum powder for feminine hygiene in the perineal region, according to court documents. The plaintiffs allege the women would not have used talcum powder in this manner had they been warned of the alleged risk, according to court documents.
Furthermore, this talcum powder lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including Johnson & Johnson, knew of the alleged link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer and engaged in marketing campaigns to intentionally deceive potential customers, according to court documents.
The court case cites numerous studies that have been conducted over the past four decades which conclude the regular use of talcum powder for female genital dusting can result in an increased risk of ovarian cancer of 33-41%, depending on the frequency of use, according to court documents.
