A wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Johnson & Johnson alleging a woman died from ovarian cancer due to using such products as Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower.

These products contain talc, a substance that has long been associated with ovarian cancer. The family of the alleged baby powder cancer victim filed the lawsuit.

The family of Janice C. said she allegedly used talc powder in her genital area since childhood as there was no warning on the labels that this product could potentially lead to ovarian cancer. She died in 2012 from ovarian cancer at the age of 63, according to the baby powder lawsuit.

Janice’s family originally filed the baby powder cancer wrongful death lawsuit on Nov. 5 in the Superior Court of New Jersey. Six days later, however, it was removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

The baby powder cancer lawsuit names as defendants J&J, Valeant, Imerys Talc, and other talcum powder manufacturers. Each company named either mined, manufactured, marketed, or sold talc powder products.

The baby powder lawsuit said studies have long suggested that talc powder could lead to ovarian cancer when used in the genital area. The talcum particles can travel into the body and trigger inflammation. This can reportedly allow cancer cells to take hold and grow. Talcum particles can last in the body for years, lengthening the alleged risk of talc-based ovarian cancer.

The talc powder lawsuit notes that “despite the mounting scientific and medical evidence regarding talc use and ovarian cancer,” the defendants’ still have not changed the warning labels to inform users, like Janice, of the possible ovarian cancer risk.

This baby powder cancer wrongful death lawsuit includes charges of failure to warn, designing a defective product, breach of warranty, conspiracy, wrongful death, and other charges. The family is seeking punitive and compensatory damages for their loss.

Janice’s family is not the first to file a baby powder cancer lawsuit. The first successful baby powder cancer lawsuit was filed in October 2013 in South Dakota. The jury confirmed a link between J&J product Shower-to-Shower body powder and the ovarian cancer in a 56 year old woman who, like Janice C., had used the product for decades. It has been alleged that baby powder use in the genital area has been encouraged by the defendants.

Several baby powder cancer lawsuits claim that manufacturers like J&J should be held responsible for not warning against the ovarian cancer risks that allegedly come with their talc-based products. A baby powder class action lawsuit was filed in April to help those who have been affected, and increase awareness of the potential ovarian cancer risks.
