There are numerous reports of people allegedly developing cancer as a result of using Johnson & Johnson baby power which, according to several legal cases, has at least previously been found to have contained asbestos.<\/p>\n

An expert from an asbestos laboratory giving evidence in one compensation claim said that multiple studies had found asbestos contained in J & J talcum powder products. The evidence may prove pivotal for the case in question, as well as for many other cases against Johnson & Johnson, who have been vigorously defending legal actions against them for years.
\n
\nThe case that the evidence has been used in is for a male sufferer of mesothelioma who alleges his condition has been caused as a result of using Johnson & Johnson talcum power for decades. It’s not the first case of its kind, with many women having launched claims for ovarian cancer for having used such talcum powder products<\/a> for years.<\/p>\n

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has previously classified the use of talc power in the genital area as “possibly carcinogenic”.<\/p>\n

Is there a case to answer?<\/h2>\n

Any case where a person believes they may be suffering cancer as a result of using talcum powder products is one that must be assessed on a case-by-case basis<\/strong>. It’s not the easiest of cases to prove, but there have been some settlements for actions initiated against J & J, despite the fact they have defended their products as safe to use.<\/p>\n

If you are a resident in England or Wales and you have developed cancer that you feel may be linked to the use of Johnson & Johnson talcum powder products, and you would like free and no obligation legal advice, please don’t hesitate to contact the team by calling 0800 634 7575<\/a> free from a landline or mobile.
