Talcum powder, also known as talc powder, is a common household product used for its absorbent and moisture-wicking properties. It is often found in baby powder, cosmetics, and personal hygiene products. Talc is a naturally occurring mineral composed of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen.
Talcum powder lawsuits have gained prominence in recent years, as individuals have claimed that long-term use of talc-based products has been linked to serious health risks, particularly ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. These lawsuits primarily target manufacturers of talcum powder products, alleging that they failed to adequately warn consumers about potential health hazards associated with their use.
Johnson & Johnson, a multinational pharmaceutical and consumer goods company, has faced a series of high-profile lawsuits related to its talcum powder products. Plaintiffs in these cases allege that the prolonged use of Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based powders, such as Baby Powder and Shower to Shower, has been linked to serious health issues, including ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
