Were you aware that in February Johnson and Johnson was
found guilty in a 72 million dollar lawsuit for failing to warn its users about
the potential risk of cancer caused by its powders? Yes, we are talking about baby and bath
powders! For 30 years there has been a
study linking the possibility of ovarian cancer in women who use talcum powder
on sanitary napkins.
In this particular 75 million dollar case, the jurors
awarded the money to the St. Louis family of a woman who died of ovarian
cancer. The American Cancer Society has
issued a statement saying that those who are concerned about the use of talc
may use a cornstarch-based powder instead.
This case simply illustrates that seemingly innocent products can
sometimes be harmful.
No one wants to come looking for trouble, but if it arrives
on your doorstep you need to act quickly.
