Johnson & Johnson has known about the increased ovarian cancer risk associated with the use of their talc-based products<\/a> but failed to warn women who used it. In fact, the supposed family friendly company did nothing, not even putting a warning label on the box despite the numerous research studies showing the connection between talcum powder and ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n

These studies go back over 40 years and have \u00a0resulted in the recommendation by the scientists involved that Johnson & Johnson should place a warning on its talcum powders about the ovarian cancer risks<\/a> so that women could make an informed decision about their health. Still the company did not let women know that there is a significant risk associated with their health and the use of their products.<\/p>\n

Jurors have been presented with the evidence and agree with the dangers associated with Johnson & Johnson’s products and awarded an 8-figure verdict<\/a> in a trial charging the company knew its talc-based Baby Powder and Shower to Shower Powder causes ovarian cancer, and failed to warn women who used it.<\/p>\n

As one juror, Jerome Kendrick, put it, “They (Johnson & Johnson) tried to cover up and influence the boards that regulate cosmetics.” He went on to say that the company’s internal memos “pretty much sealed myopinion…they could have at least put a warning label on the box but they didn’t.”<\/p>\n
