What is Talcum Powder?
Talcum powder (talc) is best-known as an ingredient in baby powder. It is also an ingredient in thousands of cosmetics, feminine hygiene products, contraceptives (condoms and diaphragms), deodorants, anti-chafing products, and more. Johnson’s Baby Powder is among the most popular talcum powder products.
Studies Explore Talcum Powder and Cancer
The first study linking talc and ovarian cancer was published in the 1970s, when researches who examined cancerous ovarian tissue discovered talc fibers. Since then, numerous studies have been published on the issue, although experts do not agree on whether there is a causal connection between talc and ovarian cancer.
Talcum Powder Lawsuit Information
Women who used talcum powder and developed ovarian cancer are pursuing lawsuits claiming that makers of talcum powder products failed to warn of the risks associated with these products.

Some cases settle early in the claims process, but it is not expected that there will be early talcum powder settlements. However, the trials that have taken place to date may give the parties an idea of the types of evidence and arguments that will be made and how juries will respond. After additional cases have been tried, the parties may be in a better position to determine whether a case can be settled.
It is expected that a talcum powder settlement will follow this pattern, although the outcome of any case is never guaranteed and past results are not necessarily predictive of future outcomes.
