Earlier this month, a St. Louis jury awarded a woman over $70 million in\u00a0a personal injury lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, alleging that the company\u2019s baby powder caused her ovarian cancer. According to one national news source<\/a> covering the case, the plaintiff relied on several studies that have linked the long-term use of talcum powder, especially in the genital area, to ovarian cancer. Johnson & Johnson denies any claims that its baby powder is unsafe and told reporters that the company plans to appeal the case to a higher court.<\/p>\n

This case is not the first that was filed against Johnson & Johnson alleging that its baby powder caused cancer, and it certainly will not be the last. In fact, there have been over 2,000 women who\u00a0have filed product liability cases against Johnson & Johnson since evidence linking baby powder to cancer surfaced. Not all cases have made it through the trial process, but of those that have, several have resulted in multi-million-dollar verdicts in favor of the\u00a0plaintiffs.<\/p>\n

The American Cancer Association explains on its website that \u201cstudies of personal use of talcum powder have had mixed results, although there is some suggestion of a possible increase in ovarian cancer risk.\u201d It is unclear if there is a link between talcum powder and other forms of cancer. In some cases, judges have dismissed plaintiffs\u2019 cases against the manufacturers and marketers of talcum powder, explaining\u00a0that the evidence linking the powder to cancer is tenuous. However, as time goes on, it seems the link between the two is becoming more and more substantiated.<\/p>\n
