Researches say Ovarian Cancer is currently the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women, including Oklahoma women. While it is not known exactly HOW MANY of those cases can be tied to the long-term use of talcum powder products, it is estimated that this year there will be over 20,000 reported cases of talcum powder related ovarian cancer.
Some of the studies produced evidence that talc particles migrate upward through a woman's reproductive system, lodging deep inside ovarian tissues and creating the systemic changes that create the cancerous tumors
Because talcum powder is not a medication, it is not regulated by the FDA.
Johnson & Johnson first introduced their Baby Powder with talc product in 1894, and Oklahoma women have been using it ever since. It is impossible to know how many thousands of talcum powder related cancer cases existed in those 125+ years -- no-one would have thought to make the association until just recently.
Even though Johnson & Jonson was advised by researchers to put a warning on their products that contained talc, the only warning that ever appeared was to avoid inhaling the product, and most women probably thought this was mostly directed toward use around infants and children.
After they knew about the link between talc and ovarian cancer, Johnson and Johnson is reported to have marketed their products MORE to Black Women, as sales to white women declined.
All products sold to the public should be safe. Oklahoma women deserved to know that talcum powder posed a serious health risk, and the manufacturers were required to provide such a warning. Failing to warn Oklahoma women about these known risks is a very serious form of negligence, and ALL women who have been harmed have the right to justice and compensation.
We know legal matters can seem overwhelming, but Please Don't Delay, certain time limits for filing your case may apply.
