Two Tampa women, Tami Isa and Jacquelyn Shenefield, both recently died as a result of ovarian cancer. Their husbands are now taking action against mega-company Johnson & Johnson, claiming the talcum powder present in their products was a defining factor in their wives’ illness and eventual death. Our team of Florida talcum powder lawyers of The Ferraro Law Firm is representing the men in this case, as both Isa and Shenefield used Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder and Shower to Shower products for several consecutive years–Isa from 2003-2015, and Shenefield from 1973-2011.
In its natural form, talc contains asbestos, which has a long history of being absolutely devastating to the human body when ingested. These products were sold to millions of women across the nation, despite the overwhelming knowledge of the potential dangers they carried. In modern research, there are dozens of studies showing the direct link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, which Johnson & Johnson vehemently denies. The product continues to be marketed as a daily use item, promising “soft, fresh, and comfortable” results.
Tami died at the age of 42, and Jacquelyn at 69.

Not too long ago I picked up the phone and called the Ferraro Law Firm not quite knowing what to expect. From the moment I reached out, the team made me feel heard and taken care of — not just like another case walking through the door.
Nikki Hurtado was my first primary contact. After speaking with her I knew that I had picked the right firm. She walked me through the process in plain understandable language. Even after numerous calls, she never made me feel like I was asking too many questions, and I always felt confident that my case was in expert hands.
My litigator was Daniel Di Matteo. If there was ever anyone that you would want by your side in a court of law, it would be him. He was everything that you would want in an attorney—calm, cool, always prepared, communicative and most importantly–experienced. He knew everything that was going to happen before it occurred but was prepared for any contingency. He is a fantastic attorney.
What really set them apart was their communication. I was kept informed at every stage — no chasing down updates, no wondering what was happening with my case. Calls and emails were returned promptly, and they proactively reached out whenever there was a development.
The professionalism of the entire team — from the attorneys to the support staff — was exceptional. Everyone I interacted with was kind, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my well-being, not just the outcome of my case.
And the outcome? Better than I could have hoped for. They fought hard on my behalf and secured a result that truly reflected the impact this injury had on my life.
You could ask for no better firm or attorney.
