Look at the search for talcum powder ovarian lawsuit. Daytime TV watchers are being solicited to sue over ovarian cancer caused by talcum powder use.
How will the plaintiffs prove they are owed compensation? Did they keep their receipts?
The only ones to benefit will be attorneys.
Amazing considering that an ad with some non-attorney spokesperson plugging this story runs on TV or radio every ten minutes. Even on conservative talk stations.
They don’t need proof-just someone with ‘M.D.’ after their name who will sell his testimony. It’s really not that hard.
I agree. I was born in 1950 and I’d never seen anything until recently about this. None of my female family members ever died of ovarian cancer and used talcum powder as far back as I can remember. I think it’s just part of the new vogue for lawyers to find someone who will front them in a liability lawsuit for virtually anything and hoping for the first manufacturer to cave in.
Scumbag lawyers looking for cash.
Why are you surprise Do?
Ambulance chasing at it’s finest.
Doesn’t pass the smell test. (Sorry!)
My mother was a prolific user of talcum powder and developed a bowling ball size ovarian cancer tumor. Talc is a first cousin to asbestos. Disagree with the class action suits and shark lawyers, but recommend *not* using talc. Switch to a cornstarch based powder.
OK, one more.
This sort of thing just rubs me the wrong way.
The claim is that talcum powder contains trace amounts of asbestos. If true I should have tumors all over my feet by now.
Two published studies on a possible link between ovarian cancer and exposure to talc powder have been inconclusive. One 2010 study looked at 200,000 women, where 721 cases of ovarian cancer were reported. They found there was a possible association with a specific sub-type of ovarian cancer but emphasized that there were too many variables to draw a direct association between the talcum powder and cancer risk.
Another study looked at data on 11,933 women and found that any possible tie between talcum powder and ovarian cancer could not be determined due to other variables.
What’s the difference between a dead skunk and a dead lawyer, in the road?
The skunk has skidmarks in front of it.
Isn’t this story also unfolding on Washing Machines and mold. Owners have to prove loss to collect much of anything. Lawyer just open their hands and get rich.
I was in cancer detection for over 40 years. The Talcum powder/Ovarian cancer link was in the news for us back in the early 70’s. I am surprised to read the article linked in the previous comment. There was never any link established between talc and ovarian cancer. The article linked relates to a case of mesothelioma, which is caused by asbestos exposure. The article also states that the talc stopped containing asbestos in 1973. Now, I do believe it is the lawyers that will profit from these lawsuits, but please , let’s be clear here. Ovarian cancer sufferers are usually linked by familial genetics, just like breast cancer. The claim that an ovarian cancer sufferer has won a lawsuit against talc doesn’t make sense. The woman in the article had mesothelioma, not plain ovarian cancer. But lawyers are gonna do what are gonna do lawyers do.....LIE. Ovarian cancer is devastating, but frequently cancers just happen. There is no one and/or nothing to blame. It just happens.
Just reread the article. Oops, it said that Colgate-Palmolive was receiving talc that contained asbestos, until 1985. But it also says the woman who received the settlement is being treated by a thoracic surgeon. That means she was inhaling the talc and now has mesothelioma in the chest. Which is where all those shipbuilders developed their mesothelioma. They inhaled the asbestos,which was used in shipbuilding. That lawsuit had nothing to do with ovarian cancer. I guess it pays to read carefully.
My daughter-in-law’s grandmother recently died from ovarian cancer. She raised DIL, who tells me grandma used talcum powder all the time.
