Talcum Powder Lawsuit
Talcum powder products, such as Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder, have been linked to ovarian cancer due to asbestos contamination.
Why are people suing talcum powder manufacturers?
Decades later, the true test results were finally revealed to the public. They showed that J&J was aware of asbestos in its talcum powder and chose to conceal its testing results from the public for decades. J&J now faces around 40,000 lawsuits for failing to warn customers about the cancer risk associated with its talcum powder products.

Frequently asked questions about the talcum powder lawsuit
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
Why does ovarian cancer qualify, but not endometrial, cervical, vaginal, or vulvar cancer?
However, it’s possible that these cancer types could still be related to genital talcum powder use, even if they do not qualify for a settlement. The qualifying cancers for this lawsuit could change in the future as more academic research into talcum powder’s adverse effects is released to the public.
J&J’s baby powder has been sold for decades, so why do you limit talcum powder claims to 10 years?
Legal proceedings filed in the U.S. are subject to the statute of limitations, a law that sets a time limit for how long you have to file a claim. Depending on your state, the statute of limitations for your case will vary.
The statute of limitations officially starts when you are diagnosed with cancer. For civil cases in most states, the time limit will last between 2-3 years, but it can go up to 4-6 years in a few states.
To accommodate for the different time limits in each state, we will review cases that go as far back as 10 years from the day you were diagnosed with cancer.
How much can I expect to win for a talcum powder settlement?
The value of your settlement would depend on the monetary value of the damages you’ve incurred and other individual factors. These settlement amounts vary heavily for different plaintiffs, so we can only provide you with an estimate average earned from the talcum powder lawsuit. The average talcum powder settlement is generally accepted to be at least $100,000, but settlements occasionally might rack up to over $500,000.
