Think talcum powder and many of us picture chortling babies and smiling mothers changing diapers. Nothing seems more safe and wholesome. And many women use talc products daily, as well, for feminine hygiene and after showering.

Well that sprinkle is now resulting in women filing lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson claiming that talc in this and other products led to them developing ovarian cancer. They claim that the they should have been warned.
Johnson s baby powder was one of the company s household name products. It has been sold for more than a 100 years. Now they say it can cause ovarian cancer? A recent lawsuit awarded $72 million to a woman whose ovarian cancer could be scientifically linked to use of Talc.

These studies go back, he says, to a British study in 1971. Researchers reported that microscopic analysis of 13 ovarian tumors found talc particles in 10 of them. Several other studies followed in the early 1980s in the United States and Europe and suggested that women who use talc feminine hygiene products may have up to a 35% higher risk of ovarian cancer than women who don’t those products.
