Prosecutors argued that the company failed to warn consumers about risks linked to ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first case. Nearly <strong>2,400 women<\/strong> have claimed that Johnson &amp; Johnson&#8217;s talcum products have caused them to suffer with ovarian cancer. Last year, Johnson &amp; Johnson lost two cases forcing them to pay out nearly <strong>\u00a342 million<\/strong>. These women are making their claims based on scientific evidence that the talcum product is linked to the risk of ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n<p>A previous study carried out by Dr Margaret A. Gates in the U.S found that &#8220;women who apply it to the genital area every day are 41% more likely to develop ovarian cancer&#8221;. As a result, the NHS are actively encouraging women not to use talcum powder because of the increased risk. The study also highlights that certain genetic profiles may be at a higher risk of developing the life threatening condition.<\/p>\n<h2>Paving the way<\/h2>\n<p>Although Johnson &amp; Johnson have not yet accepted liability for any cancer cases, this triumph potentially paves the way for more compensation to be paid out to victims who have suffered at the hands of the corporate giant.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Slemp was unfortunately too ill to attend the hearing but her lawyer stated: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;Once again we&#8217;ve shown that these companies ignored the scientific evidence and continue to deny their responsibilities to the women of America.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Her case was reportedly the largest settlement Johnson &amp; Johnson have paid out so far in regards to the talcum powder legal actions, yet in our eyes, Johnson &amp; Johnson still aren&#8217;t doing enough.<\/p>\n<p>Failing to inform consumers of the risks associated with their products can amount to negligence.
