About the Talcum Powder Lawsuit
Talcum powder cases allege that baby powder producers were aware that their talc was contaminated with asbestos and might lead to mesothelioma and ovarian cancer, but did nothing to warn consumers. Individual lawsuits represent the majority of the cases; however, at least four class-action lawsuits have been filed. Plaintiffs have recently been awarded billions of dollars in jury decisions.
Do I Qualify for a Talcum Powder Lawsuit?
- Johnson’s Baby Powder
- Shower to Shower
- Power Spray
- Gold Bond Body Powder
- Gold Bond Extra Strength Body Powder
People who developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma after using a cosmetic or commercial talcum powder product may be qualified to launch a talcum powder case. Women must have used talc-containing goods around the vaginal area daily or nearly daily before getting ovarian cancer. Note that cornstarch-based baby powders are not covered by these lawsuits.
Filing a claim can help recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and suffering caused by talc-related health issues.
