Talcum powder litigation
Lawsuits allege that decades of talc-based powder use caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma, and that the manufacturer knew its talc could contain asbestos.

What the lawsuits allege
Internal documents produced in the litigation showed the manufacturer privately discussed asbestos detections in its talc for decades while marketing the powder for daily feminine hygiene. Juries have returned verdicts in the billions, including a 2.1 billion dollar award to twenty-two women upheld on appeal, and the product was pulled from North American shelves in 2020.
Tens of thousands of claims remain in coordinated proceedings, and women diagnosed after long-term use continue to come forward.
Injuries named in the litigation
- Ovarian cancer
- Mesothelioma
- Fallopian tube and peritoneal cancers
