What is Talc?

Talc is a mineral composed of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. For years Talc based products have been marketed as hygiene products and they can be found in various personal care items. These include cosmetics, feminine hygiene products, such as washes, powders and deodorants, as well as diaphragms, condoms, sanitary napkins, and tampons.

Talcum Powder & Ovarian Cancer

The presence of harmful carcinogenic agents in talc, coupled with the possibility of contamination with asbestos—a known cancer-causing substance—poses significant health concerns. Since the 1970’s studies have revealed the potential link between talcum powder usage in the genital area and an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Research shows that harmful carcinogenic agents in talc can travel inside the body and become trapped in the ovaries. Annually, over 20,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. While it’s unclear what percentage of these diagnoses are related to Talc specifically, studies have shown that women who have used talcum powder face approximately a 30% higher likelihood of developing ovarian cancer.

Progress of a Talcum Powder Lawsuit with DLR Law

A talcum powder lawsuit follows a structured process, beginning with your initial consultation with our attorneys. The steps involved, which may vary depending on your specific case, include:

Eligibility Evaluation:

Our legal team will assess your eligibility for pursuing legal action. Generally, you may qualify if you have consistently used talcum powder products for at least one year and have received an ovarian cancer diagnosis. Our attorneys will evaluate your case during a free consultation.

Evidence Collection:

Once your eligibility is confirmed, we initiate a thorough investigation into your case. This includes examining the products you have used, evaluating medical records, and gathering relevant evidence to strengthen your claim.

Filing the Lawsuit:

Our attorneys will file your lawsuit in civil court, determining the most appropriate legal pathway for your situation. This may involve individual litigation, class action lawsuits, or mass tort litigation. We will guide you through this process while adhering to the statute of limitations specific to your state.

Negotiations and Settlement:

Prior to trial, negotiations with the defendant’s attorneys may take place. This stage offers an opportunity to potentially reach an agreement and secure compensation without going to court. Our experienced legal team will ensure your best interests are represented during these negotiations.

Trial and Defense:

If a settlement cannot be reached or negotiations are not pursued, your case will proceed to trial. Our attorneys will present a compelling argument supported by evidence, highlighting the connection between talcum powder and your cancer. The opposing legal counsel will present their defense. The court will ultimately determine liability and award compensation if your case is successful.

Appeal, if Necessary:

In the event that you disagree with the court’s decision, our attorneys will assist you in filing an appeal to pursue a more favorable outcome.
