Countless women across the country have relied on Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder and Shower-To-Shower products to help them stay fresh throughout the day and soothe sensitive areas. They purchased and used these products daily because they believed that these powders were safe.
Scientists and government agencies have discovered that the company knew its talc-based products contained asbestos and failed to include a warning label about this cancer-causing substance on containers.
At Hearn Law, we believe that companies should be held accountable when they knowingly put consumers at risk. Our lead attorney, Philip C. Hearn, has decades of courtroom experience that he puts to work for you in product liability cases.
The Deadly Effects Of Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring group of fibrous substances that manufacturers add to their products because it has absorbent and fire-resistant properties. If these fibers become airborne and enter the body, they can cause scarring that can lead to cancer growth.
If you included these products in your personal hygiene routine, you may have unknowingly exposed yourself to a carcinogen that has been linked to ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
Applying talcum powder to your genitals may cause some of the powder to enter your reproductive system and settle in your ovaries. Any scarring or inflammation that the talcum powder causes can increase the risk of developing ovarian or uterine cancer.
Whether you or a loved one have been harmed by Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder products, you deserve to receive justice and compensation for your injuries. Attorney Hearn is ready to give you the zealous representation you need to challenge this negligent manufacturer in court.
