As far back as the 1970s, researchers published studies linking long-term use of talc-based powders to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. A team of British scientists discovered talc particles embedded in ovarian cancer tumors, setting in motion decades of research and troubling findings. It was eventually uncovered that talc powder can contain trace amounts of asbestos, a known human carcinogen.
Despite this, corporations continued to manufacture and market talcum powder products. The first talc litigation was fought in 2009, setting off a wave of lawsuits that resulted in millions of dollars in settlement payments to plaintiffs.
In addition to an increased risk of ovarian cancer, talc has been linked to mesothelioma and lung cancer.
J&J manufactured and marketed its talc-based powder products until 2020–nearly 40 years after researchers began expressing concern about its safety. The company announced it would discontinue talc-based products in the U.S. and Canada, but the damage has been done.
Their inaction has changed thousands of lives, and now those victims are fighting back. Courts and juries across the country believe the evidence is compelling enough to award significant compensation to those who have been affected.
A jury awarded $55 million to Gloria Ristesund, who was being treated for ovarian cancer after using J&J baby powder for decades.
Eva Echeverria received a $417 million verdict after using baby powder daily since the 1950s and developing stage 4 ovarian cancer.
Stephen Lanzo was awarded $37 million in compensatory damages and $80 million in punitive damages against J&J over claims that he contracted mesothelioma after exposure to contaminated talc powder products.
A jury awarded $30 million to Teresa Leavitt who was diagnosed with mesothelioma, caused by using J&J talcum powder.
A court of appeals upheld a previous $2 billion verdict on behalf of 22 women who alleged talc powder caused their ovarian cancer.sing J&J baby powder for decades.
A jury awarded $26.4 million to Christina Prudencio, who claimed J&J’s asbestos-contaminated talc products caused her to develop mesothelioma.

Legal decisions involving talcum powder and cancer are making headlines in the media. One talcum powder manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has suffered legal defeats in court, totaling jury awards of as much as $100 million in damages. Most recently, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal by J&J contesting a $2 billion verdict awarded to 22 women who claim talcum powder led to their cancer.
J&J is facing ongoing lawsuits from consumers around the country. Tens of thousands of lawsuits have been filed alleging a link between ovarian cancer and use of talc powder for feminine hygiene.
Between jury trials and negotiated settlements, J&J may be liable for billions of dollars and may be under pressure to agree to a global settlement in the near future.
Thousands of lawsuits have also been filed against J&J alleging that their talc caused mesothelioma.
“J&J knew for decades that small amounts of asbestos had occasionally been found in its raw talc and in Baby Powder and Shower to Shower, based on test results from the early 1970s to the early 2000s – information it did not disclose to regulators or the public,” according to Reuters.

As far back as the 1970s, researchers have been aware that J&J Baby Powder could possibly cause cancer following prolonged exposure.
Millions of people have used and trusted this product for decades, yet J&J repeatedly failed to warn them of these findings, or that some of their product was contaminated by asbestos, a deadly carcinogen.
Deposits of talc are naturally found near asbestos deposits. When mining for talc, it’s possible for asbestos to find its way into the mined materials. However, even talc that hasn’t been contaminated can be dangerous.
Women who included a talc-based powder, like J&J Baby Powder, in their feminine hygiene routine were more likely to develop ovarian cancer. Researchers found particles of talc deeply embedded in ovarian tumors.
“There is some evidence that talc particles may migrate through the genital tract, through the uterus and fallopian tubes, thus exposing the ovaries and lining of the pelvic organs to the substance,” explains Dr. Daniel Brietkopf, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology at the Mayo Clinic. “Whether talc particles cause ovarian cancer has not been definitively proven by scientists. Given the uncertainty regarding talc, it seems prudent to limit its use in the genital area.”
Additional research showed that talc powder can enter the lungs via inhalation, resulting in a greater risk of lung cancer and mesothelioma.
If you or your loved one used a talc-based powder and developed one of these illnesses, Join the Many can help determine if you’re among the thousands who qualify for compensation. We’re here to make sure the legal system works for you, not big corporations.
A person who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma – as well as their spouse, child, or family member – may be able to file a claim to recover compensation from manufacturers of asbestos products. If the mesothelioma patient passes away, a family member or estate representative may also be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
An estimated $30 billion has been set aside in asbestos trust funds to compensate mesothelioma patients. Many companies that made asbestos products later filed for bankruptcy, so they created these trust funds to pay out future mesothelioma claims. If the company responsible for your asbestos exposure no longer exists, you may be entitled to money from their trust fund.
To file a mesothelioma claim, contact an attorney who is experienced with these types of lawsuits. They will know where and when to file your claim, how to build the strongest case possible, and the best way to maximize compensation on your behalf.
The statute of limitations (deadline to file) for mesothelioma claims will vary depending on the state in which you file. In many states, it’s 2-3 years from the date of the mesothelioma diagnosis – though it may be longer if the mesothelioma patient has passed away. A mesothelioma lawyer can make sure your claim is filed within the required time frame.
Every mesothelioma claim is different, with circumstances and factors that are unique to that mesothelioma patient’s story. Though there’s no way to predict exactly how long a claim will take, an experienced mesothelioma attorney will ensure the process is handled as efficiently as possible.
Many claimants start to receive compensation in as few as 90 days after settling their mesothelioma claims.
There is no guarantee of compensation when you file a mesothelioma claim, and countless factors affect how much money you might be able to recover (assuming your case settles). That said, 95% of these lawsuits are settled out of court, and the average settlement amount is $1-1.4 million.
It costs nothing unless we win your case. Our team works on a contingency basis—meaning we don’t get paid unless you do. Your case review is completely free.
