Who Can File a Talcum Powder Cancer Lawsuit?

Leading national baby powder cancer attorneys provide information on who qualifies to file a talcum powder lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson

Who Can File a Talcum Powder Cancer Lawsuit

As the news of the landmark baby powder cancer lawsuit wins hit the national news in early 2016, many more women around the country became aware that their diagnosis of ovarian cancer could possibly be linked to their use of Johnson's Baby Powder. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of women have joined rank, calling for justice and accountability for the pharmaceutical giant. Along the way, countless women have lost their lives as a result of talcum powder cancer.

In April of 2023, under pressure from women, their loved ones, and our tireless attorneys, finally J&J came to the table to negotiate a settlement trust of epic proportions. The company has set aside $8.9 billion in the trust and will ultimately provide over $12 billion in compensation to victims of talcum powder cancer and their loved ones.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or or another gynecologic cancer, underwent a hysterectomy and oophorectomy, and have a history of using Johnson's talcum powder--or you are the loved one of such a person--you should consult with an attorney to see if you are eligible to file a claim.

Each case is different and we do recommend having a personal consultation. To that end, our baby powder attorneys offer free, no-obligation case reviews to anyone who believe they may have grounds to file a lawsuit.

Here are some of the qualifications our baby powder cancer lawyers are looking for when determining whether a claim has legal grounds:

For women and family members of women who meet these qualifications, it is likely you will be eligible to file a baby powder cancer lawsuit. Women who have been diagnosed with ovarian or gynecologic cancer relatively recently, have undergone hysterectomy and oophorectomy, and have a history of using a talcum powder product routinely are among those who may be eligible for compensation.

There are many reasons you may consider when determining whether to file a claim. Most important for the future of your family is to recover damages for the medical expenses, lost income, and any other losses you have sustained as a result of the disease. No amount of money can undo the wrong that has been done to your family, but compensation can help you recover financially. More important than that to some is the chance to hold a large corporation accountable for patient safety and dishonest business practices. Internal company memos reveal that Johnson & Johnson officials knew of the talcum powder cancer risk and intentionally concealed it from consumers for decades. J&J officials were aware their actions could lead to potentially fatal ovarian cancer for some customers. Many plaintiffs feel the company must be held accountable for choosing profits over human lives. The $8.9 billion trust established to compensate victims is the closest J&J will come to admitting guilt for the pain, suffering and loss stemming from talcum powder cancer.
