How does Talcum or Baby Powder cause Ovarian Cancer?

Talc in its natural form is made up out of oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and asbestos. The latter has been removed from products sold commercially in the U.S. since the 1970s. Talcum powder is used in condoms, tampons, diapers, and other cosmetic products. 

The first study in 1971, showed an association with ovarian cancer and the use of talc in the genital area. Many more studies followed suit over the year and kept confirming the association between ovarian cancer and the talc. It is thought that talc travels to the ovaries via the vagina, uterus and Fallopian tubes, once there, it will consequently cause them to inflame. 

Epidemiologists’ research found that this constant inflammation plays an important part in the development of ovarian cancer. The presence of the talc mineral in 75% of ovarian tumors, supports this claim.

Talcum Powder and Johnson & Johnson Settlements

Johnson & Johnson became a household name with their baby powder since 1894. After numerous studies appeared since 1971, their prime selling product has been associated with ovarian cancer. As ovarian cancer is one of the most life-threatening forms of gynecological cancer, together with inefficient screening practices and bad prognoses, it is detrimental to health and often leads to death.

Not surprisingly, Johnson & Johnson were found guilty numerous times in court to have breached the Business and Professions Code on unfair competition and false advertising. Johnson & Johnson knew of studies that had shown an association between ovarian cancer and the use of talcum powder in the genital area. As talcum powder is a cosmetic product, therefore, it does not require the approval of the FDA.

Although no monetary award was given, in 2006 the first lawsuit case found Johnson & Johnson guilty. However, in the decade to follow, large settlements were awarded to victims of talcum powder use, on the basis that Johnson & Johnson did not inform the consumer of the correlation with ovarian cancer:

  • $70 million was awarded to Deborah Giannecchini, after talcum powder had given her ovarian cancer. This was the fourth settlement in the baby powder lawsuits against Johnson and Johnson. 
  • $72 million was awarded to the family of the deceased Jacqueline Fox, who died of ovarian cancer, following the use of Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based products. This settlement was comprised of $10 million damages and $62 million in punitive damages.
  • $55 million was awarded by a jury in Missouri after the use of a Johnson & Johnson talcum product increased the chances of her endometriosis progressing into cancer by 200%. The woman in question has passed away due to ovarian cancer.
