For decades, women used Johnson & Johnson talcum powder products, including baby powder, believing they were safe. Recent court rulings confirm that lawsuits alleging a link between talc use and ovarian cancer may proceed and must be decided by a jury, not dismissed early.
Courts Reject Johnson & Johnson’s Attempts to Dismiss Claims
After reviewing the scientific evidence, courts have rejected Johnson & Johnson’s efforts to dismiss talc ovarian cancer lawsuits, finding that plaintiffs’ experts relied on accepted methodologies and that disputes over causation belong before a jury. Talc litigation remains active nationwide. There are currently 67,580 cases pending in federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) involving Johnson & Johnson talc products, many of which allege ovarian cancer resulting from long-term talc use. The lawyers at Alex Davis Law Office represent numerous women across the country with ovarian cancer claims. The most recent court recommendation about ovarian cancer evidence came in New Jersey federal court. You can read the court’s opinion here.
