Talcum Powder Attorneys Represent Madison County Cancer Survivor

Lawyers at the Onder Law Firm have filed a talcum powder lawsuit in Madison County Circuit Court on behalf of a woman who alleges nearly five decades of talcum powder use is linked to her diagnosis of ovarian cancer; information on filing a talcum powder lawsuit can be found at the firm's Talcum Powder Cancer Lawsuit Center website.

Tuesday, February 3, 2015 - Talcum powder lawyers at the Onder Law Firm announce a new talcum powder lawsuit, filed on behalf of Judith Harlan in Madison County. The lawsuit, case number 15-L-84, was filed in Madison County Circuit Court on January 20, 2015. According to official court documents, Harlan alleges that her diagnosis of ovarian cancer is connected to talcum powder use for perineal dusting from 1964 to 2013. Harlan alleges that the defendants knew of the dangers of cancer from talcum powder, yet never warned consumers.

Defendants in the case include Johnson and Johnson, Johnson and Johnson Consumer Products, Imerys Talc America, Personal Care Products Council f/k/a Luzenac America Inc., and Walgreens. Johnson & Johnson sells popular talc-based feminine hygiene products including Johnson‘s Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower, according to court documents. Imerys Talc America and Luzenac America are the talc mining companies that supply talc to the manufacturer, according to court documents. Walgreens sold the products in question, and court documents reveal that Harlan alleges Walgreens was negligent in its failure to warn its customers of the dangers of ovarian cancer, nor did the company advise consumers on how to limit harmful exposure or reduce risk when using talcum powder.

Research linking talcum powder and ovarian cancer is thoroughly represented in the official court documents for this particular talcum powder lawsuit: Harlan cites a 1971 talcum powder study that found a link to cancer as the first such study. Also cited in the court documents are a study completed in 1982 that found a 92% increased risk of ovarian cancer from talcum powder use for genital hygiene, as well as 22 subsequent reports adding data to the comprehensive body of research on ovarian cancer from talcum powder.

Harlan‘s allegations include Failure to Warn, Negligence, Breach of Express Warranty, Breach of Implied Warranties, and Civil Conspiracy.
