Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filed Over Omitted Safety Information
Introduction
A group of plaintiffs has filed a class action lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson for not updating the Talcum Powder label to warn the consumers, especially women, despite knowing about the associated ovarian cancer risks if used in the genitals and omitted it from the label. Though compensation is not requested for personal injury damages, the plaintiffs are demanding compensation for punitive damages, legal fees and costs, and any further relief as deemed proper by the court.
