For more than half, the illness is fatal. Johnson &amp; Johnson has spent billions on lawsuits related to talc. A recent piece in the<em> New Yorker<\/em> outlined the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2022\/09\/19\/johnson-johnson-and-a-new-war-on-consumer-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new legal strategy<\/a> the company\u2019s executives have used to halt the substantial litigation\u2014if the strategy is successful, other companies may use it, too, and this could harm future claims brought by injured consumers. If you suffered ovarian cancer and believe it may have been caused by Johnson &amp; Johnson\u2019s baby powder (or talcum powder made by a different manufacturer), you should call the Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Our firm represents injured consumers and billions have been recovered in the cases with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About Your J&amp;J Talc Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Risk factors for ovarian cancer include a family history of reproductive cancer, use of fertility drugs, being overweight, unhealthy diet, and prior cancer diagnosis. Another risk factor is use of talcum powder. Research underlying the claims of a study in the <em>Journal of the American Medical Association<\/em> didn\u2019t find a statistically significant connection between talc and ovarian cancer; however it also didn\u2019t necessarily distinguish between talc-containing powders and baby powders that didn\u2019t contain talc. Other studies have found a significant connection between women who used talc for feminine hygiene and cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Once aware of a potential risk, many manufacturers stopped using talc\u2014cornstarch in baby powder is cheap and safer. But Johnson &amp; Johnson continued to use talc in spite of the complex issues around its use, and in spite of being a brand with influence and trusting consumers. The company\u2019s slogan was, for a time: \u201cA sprinkle a day helps keep odor away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/johnson-johnsons-attack-on-consumer-protection\/#more-2853\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 20,000 women get an ovarian cancer diagnosis each year.
