Does Using Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder Cause Cancer?

Johnson & Johnson has been facing allegations that the talc in its baby powder causes women to suffer ovarian cancer if they regularly use it for feminine hygiene. In her lawsuit, the woman in this case accused Johnson & Johnson of failing to properly warn people about the cancer risks associated with the talcum powder in its baby powder.

The woman claims she used Johnson & Johnson regularly for feminine hygiene from the 1950s through 2016. She developed ovarian cancer in 2007.
