New Research Links Talcum Powder to Increased Cancer Risk
January 27th, 2017
In thousands of talcum powder cancer lawsuits, plaintiffs from across the United States claim that Johnson & Johnson and other defendants knew genital application of talc had been associated with a potential increase in the risk of ovarian cancer and intentionally withheld warnings of this risk from consumers. J&J has consistently denied any wrongdoing in these matters, stating that they stand behind the safety of their products and it is impossible to prove that talc may cause cancer. However, earlier this month yet another study concluded that application of talcum powder products may significantly improve the likelihood of ovarian cancer.
In research published in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention on January 11, an international team led by Dr. Paolo Boffetta at the Tisch Cancer Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan evaluated 24 previous studies on the possible link between talc and ovarian cancer. These studies compiled data on 302,000 women who had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. According to Dr. Boffetta, his team identified a “weak but statistically significant association between genital use of talc and ovarian cancer, which appears to be limited to serious carcinoma.”
In an interview with Newsday, Dr. Boffetta said, “Overall, it is about a 20 percent higher risk for women who say they used talc, compared to women who say they did not use it.”
In recent talc lawsuits, multiple plaintiffs have cited the more than 22 epidemiologic studies conducted since the early 1980s that identified an association between genital application of talcum powder products like J&J’s Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower and ovarian cancer or other gynecologic cancers.
Despite this body of research, J&J vice president of baby research and development products, Tara Glasgow, recently said in a video statement, “We are guided by the science which supports the safety of Johnson’s Baby Powder.” On the company’s website, there is an entire page dedicated to disseminating “Important Facts about the Safety of Talc”. Here, J&J cites “Two widely accepted studies that followed women over a lengthy period of time—the Nurses’ Health Study by the Harvard School of Public Health (published in 2009) and the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Cohort by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (published in 2014)—[that] found no association between talc and ovarian cancer.”
To plaintiffs, the fact that J&J uses the results of two studies to contradict the results of dozens of studies does not adequately support the company’s claims regarding talcum powder safety. Plaintiffs have also referred to internal memos leaked from a source at J&J where company executives discuss the research linking their products to ovarian cancer and how to prevent public knowledge of this research from diminishing their sales.
Last year, three talcum powder cancer lawsuits that went to trial before St. Louis juries ended in multi-million awards to plaintiffs who had either been personally diagnosed with ovarian cancer or who had lost a loved one to ovarian cancer allegedly caused by use of talc powder products. If you or a woman you love has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using talcum powder for feminine hygiene purposes, you may be eligible for substantial compensation based on claims of J&J’s negligence.
