About Talcum Powder Lawsuits

People filing talcum powder lawsuits claim they were diagnosed with cancer after using talc-based Johnson’s Baby Powder.

In April 2023, Johnson & Johnson proposed an $8.9 billion bankruptcy settlement to settle these lawsuits.

Johnson & Johnson is one of the many companies that have been sued over asbestos-contaminated talcum powder, particularly in its baby powder products. In October 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded a year-long investigation into cosmetic products containing talc. After asbestos was found in several of the products, the FDA worked with manufacturers, including J&J, to recall some products that contained trace amounts of asbestos. Later that month, J&J recalled a single batch of Johnson’s Baby Powder.

Who Is Eligible to File a Talcum Powder Lawsuit?

Individuals who have used talc-containing products and have developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma may be eligible for a talcum powder lawsuit.

You also must have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma after 2000 and be between the ages of 22 and 65.

How long do I have to file a talcum powder lawsuit?

Every state has statutes of limitations, which set maximum time limits for filing injury claims. Once the statute of limitations expires, individuals are barred from bringing claims against the liable entities and individuals.

If you believe you have been harmed by talcum powder, it is crucial to be aware that your statute of limitations may have already expired or could soon expire. Without reviewing the specific details of your situation, we cannot determine the exact status of your statute of limitations.

What types of cancer does talcum powder cause?

Naturally occurring talc and asbestos often coexist in the earth, making contamination during mining operations highly likely. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies talc containing asbestos, when inhaled, as “carcinogenic to humans.”

In August 2022, Johnson & Johnson, a major talcum powder manufacturer, announced the global discontinuation of its baby powder in 2023. The company maintains that its product is asbestos-free and does not cause cancer. In April 2023, Johnson & Johnson offered a settlement of $8.9 billion to resolve numerous talcum powder lawsuits alleging the development of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.

The conflicting information surrounding talc-based products has generated significant consumer concern regarding their safety. Individuals diagnosed with cancer after using these products may consider seeking legal assistance. If you have a consistent history of using talc-based products over a substantial period and have been diagnosed with cancer, you may be eligible to file a claim.
