In 2024, the IARC classified talc as "probably carcinogenic to humans" — and J&J's own $8.9 billion settlement proposal was rejected.

Johnson & Johnson knew for decades that its baby powder was contaminated with asbestos yet concealed this from consumers. With over 67,600 pending claims and active bellwether trials, victims of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma linked to talc use now have a clear path to compensation.

What Is the Talcum Powder Lawsuit About?

Talcum powder lawsuits allege that Johnson & Johnson's baby powder and Shower-to-Shower products were contaminated with asbestos and that prolonged genital use of talc increases the risk of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. Plaintiffs claim J&J knew about the contamination and concealed it from consumers and regulators for decades.

MDL 2738 is in the District of New Jersey under Judge Michael A. Shipp. Over 67,600 cases are pending. No global settlement has been reached — J&J's $8.9 billion proposal was rejected in March 2025.
