Talcum Powder Linked to Ovarian Cancer
- Studies find links to ovarian cancer
- Users 30% more likely to develop cancer
Over the years, Johnson & Johnson’s® Baby Powder, a talcum-based product, has gained popularity among babies and women alike. Its longstanding use and specific marketing for “feminine hygiene” have made it a focal point in cancer lawsuits. The World Health Organization categorizes genital talcum powder use as potentially carcinogenic to humans.
Extensive studies involving thousands of women suggest that those who used talcum products are 30% more likely to develop ovarian cancer.
Despite being aware of the research suggesting a link between talcum powder and cancer, the company continued to market its body powder products. Their enduring slogan was “a sprinkle a day keeps odor away,” even in light of the research.
Lawsuits have also implicated other companies such as Whittaker, Clark & Daniels® and Cashmere Boutique by Colgate-Palmolive®.

Why Should I Care About the Talcum Powder Lawsuit?
Reports have revealed the presence of asbestos, a known carcinogen, in talcum powder formulations. This substance can be deadly if ingested, causing conditions such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Numerous talcum powder users have claimed to have developed ovarian cancer following its use. Over 20 scientific studies, dating back to 1971, have associated talcum powder usage with ovarian cancer. In a landmark case on July 13, 2018, the St. Louis jury awarded victims $550 million in compensatory damages and a further $4.14 billion in punitive damages.
