Important Legal Notice
Talcum Powder Cancer Lawsuit
Talcum powder products, including Johnson & Johnson's baby powder, have been linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer due to potential asbestos contamination. If you or a loved one have used talcum powder and subsequently developed ovarian cancer, you may be eligible for compensation.
Why Are Talcum Powder Manufacturers Facing Lawsuits?
In 1971, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began investigating the safety of talcum powder after reports indicated that talc could contain asbestos, a known carcinogen. Johnson & Johnson assured the FDA that their baby powder was asbestos-free. However, decades later, internal documents revealed that the company was aware of asbestos in their talcum powder products but concealed this information from the public. As a result, Johnson & Johnson now faces nearly 60,000 lawsuits for failing to warn consumers about the cancer risks associated with their talcum powder products.
Eligibility Criteria for the Talcum Powder Lawsuit
Individuals who have used talcum powder products around the genital area and have been diagnosed with one of the following cancers may qualify for compensation:
- Ovarian Cancer
- Primary Peritoneal Cancer
- Fallopian Tube Cancer
- Clear Cell Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
- Endometrioid Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
- Serous Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
- Invasive/Well-differentiated Mucinous Ovarian Cancer
Please note: Individuals with a genetic predisposition to ovarian cancer, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations, may not be eligible. Additionally, diagnoses prior to 2015 may not qualify.
Potential Compensation
While exact settlement amounts vary, previous verdicts have ranged from tens of thousands to tens of millions of dollars. Each case is individually assessed to ensure the best possible outcome for the claimant. The average talcum powder settlement is generally accepted to be at least $100,000, with some settlements exceeding $500,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does ovarian cancer qualify, but not endometrial, cervical, vaginal, or vulvar cancer?
Current research primarily links talcum powder exposure to ovarian and fallopian tube cancers. There is insufficient evidence connecting talcum powder to other reproductive cancers, making it challenging to prove such claims in court.
Why are claims limited to diagnoses within the past 10 years?
The statute of limitations sets a time frame for filing claims, which varies by state. To accommodate these differences, we review cases diagnosed within the past 10 years.
How much can I expect to receive from a talcum powder settlement?
Settlement amounts depend on individual case factors, including the extent of damages incurred. While amounts vary, the average talcum powder settlement is generally accepted to be at least $100,000, with some settlements exceeding $500,000.
