Hansville Woman Joins Three Others In Filing Talcum Powder Lawsuit

TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recent lawsuit filed by four women who claim that Johnson & Johnson baby powder products are directly linked to cancer.

The Kitsap Sun reports that a new lawsuit filed Thursday which includes 4 women, claims that the company knew its talcum powder products were linked to cancer and did not warn consumers. Three women from Washington and one family member of a woman from Oregon who died of cancer in 2015 filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court. They are seeking damages for medical expenses, loss of earnings, attorney fees, emotional distress, and punitive damages.

As these women bring their case to court, thousands of others are also bringing light to the issue. The first case against Johnson & Johnson concerning these powders was filed in 2009 by a woman in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Although the woman did win the case, she was not awarded any damages. Since the first case, thousands have been filed by women across the US, now totaling over 2,000. In three specific cases, women were awarded millions in damages.

Although juries in those three cases found that there is indeed a link between the products and cancer, numerous studies over the past 40 years have been split on results. Johnson & Johnson has claimed that no link exists between the two and as a result has never issued a warning on their products telling consumers about the alleged dangers.
