In one recent lawsuit related to ovarian cancer and Johnson & Johnson talcum powder, a jury ruled that talcum contained in body powders led to the onset of ovarian cancer in a woman who used Johnson & Johnson powders for personal hygiene purposes for approximately 30 years. The jury also found that Johnson & Johnson failed to warn consumers about a potential link between talc-based powder and an increased risk for ovarian cancer.

Medical research into an association between talcum powder and ovarian cancer is limited, but growing. An analysis of data published last year indicates that women who routinely use a talcum powder for feminine hygiene may face a 41 percent greater risk of developing ovarian cancer.

About 20,000 women are thought to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. A medical expert who testified in the Johnson & Johnson talcum powder case mentioned above told jurors talc may be a contributing factor in about 10,000 instances of ovarian cancer annually.
