Talcum Powder Linked To Ovarian Cancer

If you have ever used body powders or facial powders, like Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder ®, feminine hygiene products like pads and tampons, or even if you have used diaphragms or condoms, the chances are that you have been exposed to talcum powder. Talcum powder essentially contains ground-up talc, a naturally occurring mineral that exists in our environment. Because the talcum powder contained in the products mentioned above is typically used in or around the genital area, the powder enters a woman’s body through her vagina and ends up settling in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and/or the uterus, thereby potentially causing ovarian cancer.

Scientific studies that have been conducted over the last forty years have found that use of these products is linked to ovarian cancer, particularly because they found talcum powder particles in the tumors of the ovarian cancer patients they studied. In some cases, scientists have concluded that women who use products containing talcum powder have a 20-30% higher chance of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer than those who do not use the products. Accordingly, if you have ovarian cancer and have used any talcum powder products in the past, you may have a potential claim.
