Johnson & Johnson Case: Can Talcum Powder Really Cause Cancer?

Johnson & Johnson lost a second lawsuit Tuesday when a Missouri jury ordered the company to pay $55 million to a woman who said the company's talcum-powder products caused her ovarian cancer.

The company says it will appeal the decision — and claims the science backs it up. J&J is fighting about 1,200 lawsuits that allege the company knew about cancer risks but did not warn consumers. It lost the first lawsuit in February.

I've been seeing a lot of TV adverts from law firms soliciting clients for this.
