About the Talcum Powder litigation
Talc-based body powders were household staples for generations. Lawsuits allege that talc deposits are frequently contaminated with asbestos — a known carcinogen — and that manufacturers were aware of contamination risks for decades without warning consumers.
Women who used talcum powder for feminine hygiene over many years have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer at elevated rates, according to plaintiffs' experts, and users have also developed mesothelioma, a cancer almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure.
Juries have awarded substantial verdicts in talc cases, and settlement negotiations have been ongoing. If you or a loved one used talc-based powder regularly and were diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma, a free case review can determine whether you qualify.
