Miami Talcum Powder Attorneys
Talcum powder is powdered talc, a soft mineral made of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Talc is a popular component of skincare and hygiene products because it keeps skin smooth and dry. It has also been used to help with rashes and promote “freshness” for women in their genital areas. Because talcum powder is classified as a cosmetic product, it doesn’t fall under FDA regulation—so warnings about its uses were not as strictly required as they would be for a medication!
On Oct. 18, 2019, Johnson & Johnson issued a voluntary recall for one lot of Johnson’s Baby Powder after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration test found trace levels of chrysotile asbestos contamination. According to the Reuters story, Johnson & Johnson’s raw talc and talcum powder tested positive for trace amounts of asbestos on several occasions between 1971 and 2003. The article cited numerous internal company memos, reports and other documents disclosed during talc lawsuits that suggest the company knew of the danger. Thousands of people are now filing mesothelioma and ovarian cancer lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson and other talcum powder manufacturers. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using a talc product, you may be entitled to file a talcum powder lawsuit.
