Lawyers Helping Families Harmed by Talcum Powder Cancer in Ohio

Ohio Talcum Powder Ovarian Cancer

As a result of recent talcum powder lawsuits filed against Johnson & Johnson, Ohio families harmed by talcum powder cancer are finally learning about the risk. Internal company memos that emerged in recent talcum powder lawsuits indicate company executives have been engaged in a four-decade coverup of talcum powder ovarian dangers since 1970. During the 1970s, repeated tests revealed asbestos in the raw talc Johnson & Johnson received from companies such as Imerys Talc America, and numerous studies detected an increase in ovarian cancer rates in women using talcum powder for routine feminine hygiene. Harvard epidemiologist Dr. Daniel Cramer estimates that 10,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer from talcum powder each year, likely including some residents of Ohio. J&J sought to conceal the talcum powder cancer connection for decades. Read on to learn the facts about talcum powder ovarian cancer and other information on talcum powder cancer for Ohio residents.

Talcum Powder Cancer: Information for Ohio Residents

Talc is a naturally-occurring mineral that is mined from deposits across the globe for use in a variety of cosmetic, industrial, and household applications. It is the key ingredient in Johnson & Johnson body freshening and deodorizing products such as Shower to Shower and Baby Powder.

Experts suggest that perineal talcum powder dusting permits talc particles to enter the feminine reproductive system and travel to the ovaries. Because they can remain intact for decades, talc particles are thought to cause inflammation in the ovaries, making the growth of cancer more likely. Despite all the research, women in Ohio have never been warned of the dangers of using talcum powder for feminine hygiene.

The Latest Talcum Powder Ovarian Cancer Research Information for Ohio Women

The first indication that using talcum powder for feminine hygiene could cause ovarian cancer was found in 1971. Analysis of ovarian cancer tissues at that time revealed the presence of talc particles. Since that early discovery, numerous researchers have examined ovarian cancer rates in women and found a link to talcum powder use.

The following are among the landmark studies indicating that the routine use of talc-based products for perineal dusting increases the risk of developing ovarian cancer:

  • Dusting with talcum powder weekly triples a woman risk for contracting ovarian cancer. Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1992.
  • Study confirms that talcum powder use increases ovarian cancer chance. American Journal of Epidemiology, 1997.
  • Meta-analysis of 16 previous studies shows talcum powder dusting increases the risk for ovarian cancer by 33%. Anticancer Research, 2003.
  • Harvard’s Dr. Margaret Gates finds weekly talcum powder use increases cancer risk by 33%; daily talcum powder use increases cancer risk by 41%. Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention, 2008.

In light of these studies, numerous consumer advocacy groups and citizen petitions have demanded federal regulators issue a talcum powder cancer warning, yet no such warning exists. At no fault of their own, women in Ohio have been unknowingly exposing themselves to a risk for ovarian cancer. Today we know that Johnson & Johnson was part of a strong lobby working to prevent the regulation of cosmetic talc. For example, when federal regulators requested test results of raw talc to determine allowable levels of asbestos, Johnson & Johnson selectively submitted test results that found no asbestos--and omitted several other test results that detected asbestos in raw talc supplies. A clear paper trail reveals company executives to have been engaged in a decades-long effort to prevent talcum powder cancer research from reaching the public. The company continues to this day to insist talcum powder cancer is a hoax, meanwhile facing more than 12,000 pending talcum powder lawsuits. Women and family members of women in Ohio are among those filing talcum powder lawsuit against J&J.
