Colgate-Palmolive has agreed to settle a lawsuit over claims that a claimant developed cancer<\/strong> after using their talcum powder products.<\/p>\n

Carol Schoeniger reportedly developed Mesothelioma, which is a rare and fatal form of cancer that is known to be caused by asbestos exposure. This exposure allegedly came from the talc-based products she was using that reportedly contained Asbestos.<\/p>\n

The settlement sum was not disclosed<\/strong>, which may have been an effort to defer others from claiming the same, but the pay-out is likely to have been significant.
\n
\nSchoeniger claimed that her use of Colgate-Palmolive’s Cashmere Bouquet body powders for over 20 years caused her to develop mesothelioma. She contended that the company failed to warn her about the “risks, dangers and harm<\/em>” that came with using the product and exposing her to asbestos through “inhalation or ingestion<\/em>” of asbestos dust.<\/p>\n

In recent months, we’ve seen a growing number of claims for talc-based products<\/strong> that are reportedly causing cancer. Many of the actions assert that asbestos contamination can occur as it can often be found in talc deposits.<\/p>\n

Another company that uses talc in its products, Johnson & Johnson, has already been facing thousands of claims<\/a> over its staple talc products reportedly causing cancer. One now-deceased woman brought a claim against the major pharmaceutical company, alleging that her daily use of Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder gave her cancer, to which she eventually and tragically succumbed to. She alleged that J&J failed to sufficiently warn her about the risks of using their talc powder, and had they have done, she wouldn’t have applied it religiously multiple times a day and every day for decades of her life.<\/p>\n

J&J is facing some 5,500 claims that its talc-based baby powder has caused ovarian cancer. Hundreds of cases have reportedly been made against Colgate-Palmolive alleging that its talc-based products were laced with asbestos, and dozens of these cases are thought to have been resolved so far.<\/p>\n

Imerys Talc North America is one of the world’s biggest talc producers and sells the talc it mines to companies to make into their own talc-based products. The company’s spokeswoman said:<\/p>\n

“Imerys’ firm position is that talc is safe, and that position is backed by the consensus of government agencies and professional scientific organisations that have reviewed the safety of talc.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, not all scientific journals are completely reliable, as one doctor points out. The Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet<\/em> – which is recognised as one of the most credible peer-reviewed medical journals in the world – said that published literature can be dominated by “corporate influence and scientific fraud<\/strong>“.\u00a0 Expert ‘evidence’ that major corporations like J&J rely on may not be accurate or reflect the full story.<\/p>\n

Dating back to 1970’s, some scientific reports show that some talc products do have traces of asbestos as the two minerals occur naturally in close proximity. In 2015, Colgate-Palmolive was ordered by a California Jury to compensate Judith Winkle $13 million over her mesothelioma connected to Cashmere Bouquet talc powder.<\/p>\n

They consequently made a confidential settlement.<\/p>\n

Talc powder is useful for its moisture absorbing properties and has been a staple product for many families for generations. However, if it does carry carcinogenic minerals like asbestos<\/strong>, companies like J&J and Colgate-Palmolive may expect to see more and more claims<\/strong> in the future…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
