For almost 100 years women have used talcum powder for feminine hygiene. When the powder is applied for feminine hygiene purposes, research suggests the talc fibers may migrate into the fallopian tubes, uterus and ovaries. As early as 1971 a study was conducted finding that talc fibers, the central ingredient of talcum powder, may cause cancer if the fibers enter the vagina.
Talc fibers can remain in the body for decades causing inflammation which may lead to the development of tumors. This is why many researchers believe talc leads to ovarian cancer.
Talcum Powder causing ovarian cancer
Currently, the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society consider the use of talcum powder on the genitals a risk factor for ovarian cancer. Popular talcum powder products include Johnson & Johnson’s Shower to Shower and Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder.
Johnson & Johnson is currently facing hundreds of lawsuits for their refusal to provide adequate warnings about ovarian cancer on their product labels. If you or a loved one were diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have a history of using talcum powder for at least five years, call Walton Telken Bragee, LLC for a free consultation at 1-618-307-9880, [phone] or click the the “Free Case Review” button on this page.
