Get justice against Johnson & Johnson

They knew, they lied, we pay the price.


Studies have proven that talcum powder contained asbestos that could have caused ovarian, mesothelioma, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancer.

Johnson & Johnson continued to sell its talcum powder for years despite knowing since the 1970’s of its potential cancer risks. They only stopped selling it in the UK in 2023.

If you or a loved one used Johnson & Johnson talc for over five years and developed cancer, you might be eligible for compensation.

What is the Talc Scandal?

Tens of thousands of people may have been affected by the talc scandal.

Many have developed cancer and been subjected to unnecessary trauma and distress due to Johnson and Johnson's negligence while sadly many others have lost loved ones to talc-related cancer.

The US-based multi-national corporation knew as early as the 1970s that asbestos in its talc products was dangerous but failed to warn consumers and carried on producing and selling the products in the UK until as recently as 2023.

BLOG: Another study connects talcum powder to elevated ovarian cancer risk

MARCH 2025

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology has identified a significant connection between the use of talcum powder and an elevated risk of ovarian cancer. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) examined data from over 50,000 women, revealing that those who used talc frequently and over an extended period, had a higher likelihood of developing ovarian cancer.

FEBRUARY 2025

Talcum powder has been linked to potential health risks, particularly ovarian cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies talc as "probably carcinogenic to humans," based on evidence from human and animal studies. Research shows an increased risk of ovarian cancer with regular talc use, especially in the genital area. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have proposed new guidelines to prevent asbestos contamination in talc products. Legal cases, including claims against Johnson & Johnson, have also emerged, although the company maintains its products are safe and asbestos-free.
