Why You Should File a Talcum Powder Ovarian Cancer Lawsuit
Women and families that have suffered due to ovarian cancer stemming from talcum powder use for hygiene should fight back, and we can help.
Monday, June 19, 2017 - If you are suffering from Ovarian cancer, or have a loved one who has died from the disease, chances are you have been the victim of gross negligence by a pharmaceutical company that you once trusted for its depiction of their products being so safe that even a fragile baby can use them. Around 20,000 American women develop Ovarian cancer every year, and currently over 3000 of them or the estates of those who have died are suing Johnson & Johnson for reimbursement of medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering stemming from the long-term usage of Johnson and Johnson's Baby Powder and Shower to Shower products for feminine hygiene purposes.
Johnson & Johnson Executive Knew and Did Nothing
Court evidence has proven that internal company memorandum indicates high-level executives at Johnson & Johnson have known for decades, perhaps as early as 1971, that their talc-based powder and lotion products can be linked to Ovarian cancer in women throughout the country. Case studies show that there is a 40% higher risk of developing Ovarian cancer for women who regularly use talc on their genital area. Harvard epidemiologist Dr. Daniel Cramer estimates that 10,000 American women develop ovarian cancer each year as a result of using talcum powder in the genital region of the body for feminine hygiene. Remarkably, up to 90 percent of the jury verdicts can be attributed "compensatory damages" due to the pain and suffering that is directly attributable to Johnson & Johnson's negligence in failing to warn consumers of their cancer causing baby powder and shower products.
Company memorandum indicates Johnson & Johnson's had advanced knowledge of the dangers of their baby products. In a deliberate and dishonest effort to conceal the dangers and to protect their multi-billion dollar business, marketing executives at Johnson and Johnson chose to re-direct their marketing efforts to target African-American and Hispanic women, a demographic that Johnson & Johnson determined to be less intelligent and therefore less well-informed. Evidence of negligence, racism, and fraud is at the core of the punitive, multi-million dollar verdicts leveled by juries to date and has been one of the keys to our law firm winning two lawsuits in 2016 against Johnson & Johnson's for a $72 and $55 million respectively. In 2017, as of the time of this writing, our firm has secured a $110 million verdict for a Virginia women against the pharmaceutical giant and have many more cases in the works. As a side note, Johnson & Johnson's is also being held accountable for their negligence in other areas of their business and plaintiffs have successfully sued the company forcing recalls of Tylenol, knee replacements, Hip replacements and Bausch and Lomb contact lenses.
