A group of plaintiffs has filed a class action lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson for not updating the Talcum Powder label to warn the consumers, especially women, despite knowing about the associated ovarian cancer risks if used in the genitals and omitted it from the label. Though compensation is not requested for personal injury damages, the plaintiffs are demanding compensation for punitive damages, legal fees and costs, and any further relief as deemed proper by the court.
The main plaintiff claims had the company warned her about the safety of the talcum powder, she would not have purchased the product and believe in its safety. However, she suffered injury and lost money due to the prolonged use believing in the safety of the product.
