Why Exposure to Talcum Powder May Mean Exposure to Asbestos
Talcum powder is manufactured from talc, producing a loose white powder that is effective at absorbing moisture. Talc, in its natural form, often contains asbestos, which is known to cause cancer in or around the lungs if it is inhaled.
Despite the ban on asbestos-containing household products in the 1970s, many manufacturer’s talcum-based products continued to have asbestos in them until recently.
Talcum Powder Use May Increase Your Risk of Ovarian Cancer
According to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the use of talcum powder on the genital region has been linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer due to its chemical similarity to asbestos. Many such cases are making their way to court and winning large verdicts.
Johnson & Johnson is not the only brand under fire. Other cosmetic and personal hygiene products use talcum powder. Lawsuits have been filed against the following manufacturers:
- Johnson & Johnson
- Colgate-Palmolive
- Pfizer
- Revlon
For decades, there has been concern regarding the use of talcum powder on the genital region. Since 1992, there have been several medical studies, which all revealed an increased risk for ovarian cancer in women who used it. In a 2015 epidemiology study, researchers asked 2,041 women who had ovarian cancer and 2,100 women who did not about their use of talcum powder. They found that the perineal use of talcum powder increased the risk of ovarian cancer by a third.
