Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower to Shower body powder have been facing heat from the public and plaintiffs as more women step forth after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer as well as family members who have lost loved ones to ovarian cancer.
Talcum powder is the main ingredient in baby and body powder products in order to prevent rashes and dry skin. Within talcum powder is talc, a mineral made up of oxygen, magnesium and silicon, which is also known to contain asbestos.
The talc particles have been known for decades to put people at risk of ovarian cancer as the particles enter into their bodies.
In the United States, talc is an unregulated substance. Therefore, talc does not require any safety labels despite numerous scientific studies documenting more occurrences of ovarian cancer in women that use body powder regularly.
Often times, with women, these powders are used on the genital region, and now there is evidence surfacing to show that these powders may be increasing the risk of ovarian cancer for women, by as much as 24 percent.
Millions of women around the country that currently use baby powder and body powder products, which could ultimately lead to thousands of new cases of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the upcoming years.
In 2014, the American Cancer Society estimated that nearly 22,000 women would be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the United States alone.
The Cancer Prevention Research recently released a study, which looked at talc powder side effects resulting from regular use of baby powder and body powder products. In a data pool consisting of eight smaller studies, it was found that out of 8,525 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer, nearly a quarter were found to have used body powders regularly after baths and showers.
As more baby powder ovarian cancer lawsuits become filed in the federal court system, it only brings more light to the fact of how serious the risk of ovarian cancer is after using baby and body powder products regularly. It would not be unusual for a baby powder class action lawsuit to become filed on behalf of a large group of plaintiffs that suffered ovarian cancer as a result of using baby powder products.
In general, baby powder cancer lawsuits are filed individually by each plaintiff and are not class actions.
