What you need to know about Talcum powder and products

Products containing talc, such and Johnson and Johnson Shower to Shower, baby powder, condoms, tampons, diaphragms, and others have been linked to ovarian cancer.

Talcum powder is made primarily from the mineral talc and is used in baby and body powders, feminine washes, and other consumer products. Talcum powder absorbs moisture and can be used to reduce chafing against the skin. Despite its wide use for decades, talcum powder has been linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer in some women.

Several lawsuits have been filed across the U.S. against makers of talc-based products. Johnson & Johnson faces thousands of legal claims from consumers who have been affected by these dangerous products. In May 2020, Johnson & Johnson said it would no longer sell talc-based baby powder in North America. However, the legal fight for compensation continues for injured consumers.
