J&J has been found guilty in two talcum powder trials in early 2016. In both trials the jury concluded that that talcum powder is dangerous to children and adults, and that women who apply Johnson and Johnson’s talcum powder to the genital area are at significant risk of developing ovarian cancer.
According to the news, there was evidence introduced in the above-referenced trials showing that Johnson and Johnson has been aware of the risks associated with the use of talcum powder and not only did Johnson and Johnson do nothing to warn its consumers, but also it appears that they did everything to try to distract and hide that information.
