Developed Cancer After Using Talcum Powder?

Written by Bart Durham Injury Law | Jan 12, 2022 7:00:00 PM

Did you know that a recalled, potentially carcinogenic product, now linked with several different types of cancer (including ovarian, lung, and uterine cancers) could be lurking in your medicine cabinet?

Dangers of Talcum Powder

According to the American Cancer Society, talcum powder (made from talc, a combination of magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and other compounds) has been known to cause tumor formation in both people and animals. Sadly, millions of people who used common products have been needlessly put at risk by companies that put profits ahead of consumer safety.

Popular brands include:

  • Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder
  • Shower to Shower Body Powder
  • Gold Bond Body Powder
  • Estee Lauder Body Powder

Reportedly, for more than 40 years, some manufacturers continued to produce, market, and sell products they knew could cause health problems to customers. We believe these companies should be held accountable for their negligence and that victims, and families of victims, who developed cancer after unknowingly using an unsafe product are entitled to maximum compensation for what they’ve gone through.
