Talc particles may enter the female reproductive system through the vagina, migrating through the fallopian tubes and coming to rest in the ovaries. Talc, which is a naturally-occurring substance that is mined from the earth, has a low solubility with water. Rather than disintegrating, talc particles may remain intact for years or decades. The particles cause an inflammatory response from the ovaries, which creates an environment conducive to cancer growth. What scientists have elucidated over the course of years, J&J officials actively engaged in concealing from consumers and federal regulators, according to the findings of the St. Louis jury.
