What Cancers Does Talc Powder Cause?

Ovarian Cancer

Research indicates up and beyond a 90% risk increase for ovarian cancer in women who regularly use talc-based powders for feminine hygiene purposes. Symptoms include:

  • Bloating
  • Weight loss
  • Constipation or other bowel issues
  • Feeling full quickly while eating
  • Frequent urination

Mesothelioma

Inhaling talc powder can increase the risk of mesothelioma, a cancer affecting the layer of tissue surrounding most internal organs. Symptoms include:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest pain
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Painful coughing
  • Lumps under the skin around the chest

How Is Talc Powder Linked to Cancer?

Beginning in the 1970s, researchers raised red flags regarding the prolonged use of J&J Baby Powder, warning of a potential increased risk of ovarian cancer.

However, J&J did not warn consumers of possible dangers, allowing millions of people to continue using it every day for decades. Eventually, it was discovered that some talc-based products could be contaminated with asbestos.

During the mining process for talc, nearby asbestos deposits can be ruptured, resulting in contamination. However, even talc that hasn’t been contaminated isn’t necessarily safe.

Studies have noted an increased risk for ovarian cancer in women who use talc-based powder, like J&J Baby Powder, on or around the genital area. Talc particles have been found buried deep in ovarian tumors.

According to Dr. Daniel Brietkopf, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology at the Mayo Clinic, evidence suggests talc particles can migrate through the genital tract, through the reproductive system, and into ovaries.

“Whether talc particles cause ovarian cancer has not been definitively proven by scientists. Given the uncertainty regarding talc, it seems prudent to limit its use in the genital area,” he says.

Additional research showed that talc powder can enter the lungs via inhalation, resulting in a greater risk of lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Verdicts and Settlements Against J&J

It took J&J nearly 40 years to discontinue its line of talc-based powders. For many, the decision is too little, too late. Those who have alleged the product resulted in their cancer diagnosis are being met with significant settlements all over the country.

Years of inaction from J&J can be linked to thousands of cancer diagnoses in customers who trusted their product for decades. Thankfully, the courts have sided again and again with victims who allege talc powder caused their cancer.

2016
A jury awarded $55 million to Gloria Ristesund, who was being treated for ovarian cancer after using J&J baby powder for decades.
2017
Eva Echeverria received a $417 million verdict after using baby powder daily since the 1950s and developing stage 4 ovarian cancer. 
2018
Stephen Lanzo was awarded $37 million in compensatory damages and $80 million in punitive damages against J&J over claims that he contracted mesothelioma after exposure to contaminated talc powder products.
2019
A jury awarded $30 million to Teresa Leavitt who was diagnosed with mesothelioma, caused by using J&J talcum powder.
2020
A court of appeals upheld a previous $2 billion verdict on behalf of 22 women who alleged talc powder caused their ovarian cancer.
2021
A jury awarded $26.4 million to Christina Prudencio, who claimed J&J’s asbestos-contaminated talc products caused her to develop mesothelioma.
