Barbara Mihalich has filed a lawsuit on behalf of herself and others who have used Johnson and Johnson’s talcum powder in the past five years in the Southern District of Illinois Court. She alleges that consumers were not adequately warned about the risks of using the power. Allegedly, the powder carries a much higher risk of ovarian cancer for women that use it.

Ms. Mihalich alleges that the talcum powder and the baby powder are not safe for genital dusting. Women who used the powder in their genital area allegedly have a 33% increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, compared to those who do not use the powders.

The lawsuit states that Johnson and Johnson misrepresented their product regarding the safety of the powder.

The defendants have answered that Ms. Mihalich was not injured by the powder and has never developed any injuries stemming from the product.
