For nearly a century, women have been using talcum powder for feminine hygiene. However, in 1971 a study found that talc fibers, the central ingredient of talcum powder, could cause cancer if the fibers enter the vagina and travel to the ovaries.
Talc is a natural mineral that the body has difficulty removing. As a result, talc fibers can remain in the body for decades. They cause inflammation, which leads to the development of tumors. This is how many researchers believe talc can lead to ovarian cancer.
In more than 20 studies conducted over the course of 30 years, researchers found talc fibers in the ovarian cysts of women who used talcum powder for feminine hygiene. 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:
- Shower to Shower
- Johnson’s Baby Powder
Johnson & Johnson is currently facing hundreds of lawsuits because of their refusal to label their product with adequate warnings about ovarian cancer. If you or a loved one were diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have a history of using talcum powder, call The Simon Law Firm, P.C. Our team has decades of experience holding the world’s largest companies accountable and has secured hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of our clients.

Both claims involved use of talcum powder for decades.
