Were You Diagnosed with Cancer After Using Johnson's Baby Powder or Other Talc Products?
Over 67,600 lawsuits are pending against Johnson & Johnson over talc-based products. J&J's $8 billion bankruptcy settlement was REJECTED by a federal judge in March 2025 - their third failed attempt to use bankruptcy to avoid trials. Cases are now proceeding to trial with recent verdicts of $260M, $45M, and $15M.
If you regularly used talcum powder products and were later diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma, you may be entitled to significant compensation.

Tens of thousands of women across the United States have filed lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson and other manufacturers, alleging that talc-based products like Johnson's Baby Powder and Shower to Shower caused them to develop ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
The lawsuits claim that J&J knew for decades that their talc products could be contaminated with asbestos and linked to cancer, but they failed to warn consumers and continued to market these products as safe—even for babies.
Reuters investigations uncovered internal J&J documents showing the company knew since at least the 1970s that small amounts of asbestos contaminated its talc products. Despite this knowledge, J&J continued to assure consumers the products were safe and "pure."
The primary focus of talc litigation. Studies have found that women who used talc for genital hygiene had up to a 33% increased risk of ovarian cancer.
A rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Talc contaminated with asbestos has been linked to peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma.
Johnson & Johnson faces tens of thousands of talc lawsuits and has seen both major trial victories for plaintiffs and ongoing settlement negotiations:
Judge rejected J&J's third bankruptcy attempt. The company has withdrawn its $7B+ settlement offer and will now defend cases in court.
Oregon jury awarded Kyung Lee $260M after developing ovarian cancer from talc use
Chicago jury ordered J&J and Kenvue to pay for a mother who died from mesothelioma
J&J settled with 42 states over marketing practices - separate from personal injury claims

For generations, Johnson & Johnson marketed talc products specifically to women and families, promoting them as safe and pure for the most intimate personal care. Women trusted these products for decades—only to develop devastating cancers. This litigation seeks justice for those harmed.
Internal documents show J&J knew about asbestos contamination and cancer risks but continued selling talc products. Legal action holds corporations accountable when they put profits over safety.
This litigation has already forced J&J to discontinue talc-based baby powder globally, protecting future generations from potential harm.
If you developed cancer after using talcum powder, you deserve justice and compensation. Don't let manufacturers who concealed dangers from consumers escape responsibility.
