Talc, the primary ingredient in baby powder, is a naturally occurring mineral. Its softness and absorbency have made it popular in various personal care products since the twentieth century. However, several studies have shown a positive association between talc use and cancer.
The most recent cohort research study of over 66,000 women revealed a 31-65% increased risk of ovarian cancer with frequent talcum powder exposure. Although the precise method by which talcum powder causes ovarian cancer is not yet understood, their relationship cannot be denied.
Additionally, men and women with regular use and exposure to talcum powder containing asbestos are at an elevated risk of developing mesothelioma cancer. You may be entitled to compensation if you used certain talc products and were subsequently diagnosed with ovarian or mesothelioma cancer.
