Talcum Powder and Cancer: What You Should Know

Talc is a naturally occurring mineral that can sometimes be contaminated with asbestos, a known carcinogen. Some studies suggest that even asbestos-free talc has been shown to cause inflammation in the body, which may contribute to the development of cancer.

Numerous studies have found a connection between long-term talcum powder use and ovarian cancer.

What’s Happening in the Talcum Powder Lawsuit?
  • More than 50,000 lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson over its talc-based powders.
  • The companyhalted sales of talc-based Baby Powder in 2023 and has proposed an $8.9 billion settlement through a bankruptcy trust, which is still under legal review.
  • Courts have unsealed documents showing Johnson & Johnson knew for decades that its talc occasionally tested positive for asbestos.

Despite these revelations, Johnson & Johnson continues to deny any wrongdoing. Many plaintiffs have already secured verdicts, with juries finding that the company failed to warn consumers and put profits over safety.

Who Can File a Talcum Powder Lawsuit?

You may be eligible to file a claim if:

  • You used Johnson’s Baby Powder or Shower to Shower products regularly over a prolonged period.
  • You were diagnosed with ovarian cancer within the last six years.

  • Who am I talking to when I call Seeger Weiss?

    Almost of our calls are initially handled by our talented reception team. Depending on the nature of the call, they may connect you to one of Seeger Weiss’s intake specialists (for prospective clients) or to one of our case management paralegals (for current clients). These teams are here to answer your questions, provide context, and help guide you through process of becoming a client or of pursuing your case in court.

  • Do I have to pay?

    The vast majority of the work Seeger Weiss does is on a contingency basis. That means we are paid only once we have secured financial compensation via trial or settlement—usually a percentage of the total award. Individual retainer agreements, which prospective clients must review and sign to retain Seeger Weiss as their legal representation, will share information on how your contingency fee works.

  • I just signed a retainer, what happens next?

    Once you’ve signed a retainer agreement with Seeger Weiss, the firm becomes your legal representation. For the firm, our next step is to gather as much information about your case as possible. Typically, that means you’ll sign authorization forms that allow us to speak on your behalf to or obtain information from other organizations and institutions, such as a primary care physician’s office or a hospital.
