Keller Postman LLC is at the forefront of addressing the serious health risks associated with the use of talcum powder products. Recent scientific studies have revealed a significant connection between the prolonged use of talcum powder in the genital area and an increased risk of ovarian cancer, prompting numerous lawsuits against major manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson.
Talcum powder, made from the mineral talc, was widely used in products such as baby powder for its moisture-absorbing and friction-reducing properties. But some talc sources contain asbestos, a recognized carcinogen linked to cancers such as mesothelioma and ovarian cancer. Learn more about asbestos and its health risks from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Studies indicate that talc particles can travel to the ovaries and cause inflammation, increasing the risk of ovarian cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies talc-based powders used in the genital area as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Despite this, companies like Johnson & Johnson have faced allegations of failing to adequately warn consumers about these dangers. For recent safety communications or advisories regarding the use of talcum powder, refer to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Keller Postman LLC represents individuals who have developed ovarian cancer potentially linked to the use of talcum powder. Our legal team is committed to holding manufacturers accountable for their negligence and securing compensation for those affected.

In a landmark development, Johnson & Johnson has proposed an $8.9 billion settlement to resolve tens of thousands of lawsuits. This proposal comes after numerous court decisions favoring plaintiffs, demonstrating the legal system’s recognition of the potential harm caused by talcum powder products. If you or a loved one has been affected, this settlement could impact the compensation you might expect.

The talcum powder lawsuits allege that prolonged use of talcum powder in the genital area can increase the risk of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. Plaintiffs claim that manufacturers, notably Johnson & Johnson, were aware that their talcum powder products could contain asbestos—a known carcinogen—and failed to warn consumers about the risk. The lawsuits also point to evidence suggesting J&J knew about the presence of asbestos in their products since the early 1970s.
