The Dangers of Talcum Powder
Talcum Powder, more frequently referred to as baby powder, has recently come under fire for increasing the risk of ovarian cancer for women who use it regularly for feminine hygiene. Talcum powder and its inherent risks have been studied since 1982, at which point a link was suggested between ovarian cancer and genital talcum powder use. This research was widely ignored by Johnson & Johnson (J&J), the primary manufacturer of baby powder product made with talc. As of 2016, Johnson & Johnson as been subject to 2 verdicts of $72 million and $55 million for not warning its consumers about the dangers of ovarian cancer when using their products. J&J has appealed the verdicts opining that there is no proof that the cancer is caused by their talc.
