Kb27 Supersonic October 29, 2016 Share October 29, 2016 If everything is suspected of being carcinogenic without proper proof, then most businesses would shutdown. You can't sell anything, when customers just keep pointing their sickness to your product and getting awarded millions of dollars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aventador 6th Gear October 29, 2016 Share October 29, 2016 (edited) In all seriousness, talc has been linked with cancer I noted the concerns about talc and banned my kids from using it since they were babies If you keep putting fine particles around the genital areas, it is going to find its way into the body. Especially for girls - that's why the link is to ovarian cancer. The way some people use the baby powder like making cake like that Btw if you research Johnson baby oil, you will find that it is a by product of refining crude oil Like the comments below - why take the risk if the product is not a necessity Do your own risk assessment and decide “There’s been concerning evidence about talc — that it brings about a 30 percent increased risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers — for quite a while,” Sharima Rasanayagam, director of science at the Breast Cancer Fund and head of its Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, tells Yahoo Beauty, citing a number of studies. “It’s a small increase for a rare cancer — not like smoking and lung cancer — which may be one reason people haven’t taken notice of it. But we take a precautionary approach, especially because it’s not a product you need to be using. Why increase your risk for these cancers at all?” Talc — a mineral substance that’s either mined or produced industrially — is used in various cosmetic and beauty products, from baby powders to eye shadows, in order to absorb moisture, or as a softening or anti-caking agent. It can sometimes be contaminated with asbestos. And it’s why an ever-increasing panoply of talc-free powders — from the Honest Company, Burt’s Bees, Crabtree & Evelyn, and even Johnson & Johnson itself — has been become available, typically with alternative ingredients such as cornstarch, silk powders, and finely milled oats.

Blueray Hypersonic May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 Johnson & Johnson to pay US woman US$110m in suit linking its baby powder, shower talc to cancer DETROIT (BLOOMBERG) - Johnson & Johnson was ordered by a St Louis jury on Thursday (May 4) to pay more than US$110 million (S$154 million) to a Virginia woman who blamed her ovarian cancer on the company's talcum products. There are more than 3,000 lawsuits accusing the world's largest health-care company of ignoring studies linking its baby powder and Shower to Shower talc products to ovarian cancer and failing to warn customers about the risk. The jury's verdict included US$105 million in punitive damages against J&J, a figure juror Nancy Kinney said was derived from a formula starting with the number of years since the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified talc as a possible carcinogen.

Jman888 Moderator August 22, 2017 Share August 22, 2017 siao liao, more and more women come out to claim. Woman wins $568m in lawsuit claiming Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder causes cancer PUBLISHED: 10:10 AM, AUGUST 22, 2017 LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles jury on Monday (Aug 21) ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay a record US$417 million (S$568 million) to a hospitalised woman who claimed in a lawsuit that the talc in the company’s iconic baby powder causes ovarian cancer when applied regularly for feminine hygiene. The verdict in the lawsuit brought by the California woman, Mrs Eva Echeverria, marks the largest sum awarded in a series of talcum powder lawsuit verdicts against Johnson & Johnson in courts around the US. Mrs Echeverria alleged Johnson & Johnson failed to adequately warn consumers about talcum powder’s potential cancer risks. She used the company’s baby powder on a daily basis beginning in the 1950s until 2016 and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2007, according to court papers. Mrs Echeverria developed ovarian cancer as a “proximate result of the unreasonably dangerous and defective nature of talcum powder”, she said in her lawsuit. Mrs Echeverria’s attorney Mark Robinson said his client is undergoing cancer treatment while hospitalised and told him she hoped the verdict would lead Johnson & Johnson to put additional warnings on its products. “Mrs Echeverria is dying from this ovarian cancer and she said to me all she wanted to do was to help the other women throughout the whole country who have ovarian cancer for using Johnson & Johnson for 20 and 30 years,” Mr Robinson said. “She really didn’t want sympathy,” he added. “She just wanted to get a message out to help these other women.” The jury’s award included $68 million in compensatory damages and $340 million in punitive damages, Mr Robinson said. The evidence in the case included internal documents from several decades that “showed the jury that Johnson & Johnson knew about the risks of talc and ovarian cancer”, Mr Robinson said. “Johnson & Johnson had many warning bells over a 30-year period but failed to warn the women who were buying its product,” he said. Johnson & Johnson spokesperson Carol Goodrich said in a statement that the company will appeal the jury’s decision. She says while the company sympathises with women suffering from ovarian cancer that scientific evidence supports the safety of Johnson’s baby powder. The verdict came after a St. Louis, Missouri jury in May awarded US$110.5 million to a Virginia woman who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. She had blamed her illness on her use of the company’s talcum powder-containing products for more than 40 years. Besides that case, three other trials in St. Louis had similar outcomes last year, with juries awarding damages of US$72 million, US$70.1 million and US$55 million, for a combined total of US$307.6 million. Another St. Louis jury in March rejected the claims of a Tennessee woman with ovarian and uterine cancer who blamed talcum powder for her cancers. Two similar cases in New Jersey were thrown out by a judge who said the plaintiffs’ lawyers did not presented reliable evidence linking talc to ovarian cancer. More than 1,000 other people have filed similar lawsuits. Some who won their lawsuits won much lower amounts, illustrating how juries have wide latitude in awarding monetary damages. Johnson & Johnson is preparing to defend itself and its baby powder at upcoming trials in the US, Ms Goodrich said. AP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
