Talcum Powder

Litigation for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer after years of talc use.

Overview

Understanding Talcum Powder cases

For generations, talcum powder was marketed as gentle enough for daily personal use. Lawsuits allege that long-term genital use of talc-based products is associated with ovarian cancer — and that the manufacturer knew of contamination and cancer concerns for decades while continuing to market the product to women.

Thousands of women have brought claims, and the litigation has produced some of the most significant product-liability verdicts in American history. Each case, though, is individual: one woman, one history of use, one diagnosis.

If you used talcum powder products regularly and were later diagnosed with ovarian cancer, we can help you understand whether your history fits this litigation and what pursuing a claim would look like.
