Notable Verdicts Against J&J

J&J manufactured and marketed its talc-based powder products until 2020–nearly 40 years after researchers began expressing concern about its safety. The company announced it would discontinue talc-based products in the U.S. and Canada, but the damage has been done.

Their inaction has changed thousands of lives, and now those victims are fighting back. Courts and juries across the country believe the evidence is compelling enough to award significant compensation to those who have been affected.

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.
Time Is Running Out to File a Claim
After a cancer diagnosis, most J&J talc powder cases are subject to a strict statute of limitations. The exact time frame depends on where you live. We strongly encourage you to act now to ensure you can receive the compensation you’re owed.

Talc Powder’s Link to Ovarian Cancer & Mesothelioma

Ovarian Cancer

Research has consistently shown up to and over a 90% increase in risk for ovarian cancer for women who use talc-based powder around their genitals. Ovarian cancer symptoms include:

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

Mesothelioma

Talc powder that enters the lungs through inhalation is believed to increase the risk of mesothelioma, which is a cancer that damages the layer of tissue covering most of the body’s internal organs.
Symptoms include:

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

Troubling Talc Powder Discoveries

As far back as the 1970s, researchers have been aware that J&J Baby Powder could possibly cause cancer following prolonged exposure.

Millions of people have used and trusted this product for decades, yet J&J repeatedly failed to warn them of these findings, or that some of their product was contaminated by asbestos, a deadly carcinogen.

Deposits of talc are naturally found near asbestos deposits. When mining for talc, it’s possible for asbestos to find its way into the mined materials. However, even talc that hasn’t been contaminated can be dangerous.

Women who included a talc-based powder, like J&J Baby Powder, in their feminine hygiene routine were more likely to develop ovarian cancer. Researchers found particles of talc deeply embedded in ovarian tumors.

“There is some evidence that talc particles may migrate through the genital tract, through the uterus and fallopian tubes, thus exposing the ovaries and lining of the pelvic organs to the substance,” explains Dr. Daniel Brietkopf, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology at the Mayo Clinic. “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.”

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