Another Talcum Powder Lawsuit filed

Introduction
Another product liability lawsuit has been filed by a woman from South Carolina against Johnson & Johnson and others, alleging that the use of talcum powder sold under their names, led to her diagnosis of ovarian cancer and the need for hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, full surgical staging and other treatments. She further holds them responsible for not warning about the potential risks associated with their products for years, in spite of knowing about the same. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina.
J&J is defending nearly 7,000 Talcum Powder lawsuits nationwide, filed by women who claim they developed ovarian cancer due to the long-term use of products promoted for feminine hygiene by the defendants. The motley of lawsuits are filed under MDL No. 2738- In re: Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder Products Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation formed in 2016, presided by Hon. Freda L. Wolfson, U.S.D.J./ Hon. Lois H. Goodman, U.S.M.J., in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey; hundreds of lawsuits are also filed in Missouri 22nd Circuit Court, St. Louis; cases are also filed in California and Delaware state courts.
