J&J must pay $72 million for cancer death linked to talcum powder - senona - 05-22-2016 Quote:Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N) was ordered by a Missouri state jury to pay $72 million of damages to the family of a woman whose death from ovarian cancer was linked to her use of the company's talc-based Baby Powder and Shower to Shower for several decades. News Source Oh boy, who knew that baby powder, which is widely used, can actually be harmful? Think of the millions of people who use baby powder on a daily basis Quote:Johnson & Johnson faces claims that it, in an effort to boost sales, failed for decades to warn consumers that its talc-based products could cause cancer. About 1,000 cases have been filed in Missouri state court, and another 200 in New Jersey. As usual, it's all about the money. Bottom line, consumers are on their own to research about the safety of a product, due to the fact companies like to hide the possible dangers all for the almighty dollar Quote:Fox, who lived in Birmingham, Alabama, claimed she used Baby Powder and Shower to Shower for feminine hygiene for more than 35 years before being diagnosed three years ago with ovarian cancer. She died in October at age 62. Now that is scary indeed I feel for her family and the hell that they have been put through There was another case against J&J back in 2013 Quote:In October 2013, a federal jury in Sioux Falls, South Dakota found that plaintiff Deane Berg's use of Johnson & Johnson's body powder products was a factor in her developing ovarian cancer. Nevertheless, it awarded no damages, court records show. As with any powerful company out for only themselves.........deny, deny, deny Yeah well, let's see how all the other trials play out now that this family has won their day in court.

Something that seems so innocent and clean and pure...is a new devil One thing is certain - unless you wear some kind of mask when working with the stuff - you can't escape ingesting it through the eyes, nose, mouth/lungs. What about the babies? Does it only cause cancer in adults?
