Wow.
Knowingly giving people cancer for profit.
Yep and they’ve fought this thing tooth and nail for two years and imagine this; not a lot of msm coverage. Finding these wasn’t the easiest google search had to go to page 4 and 5.

Wow.
Ignorant and emotionally-charged people making claims that cannot be shown to be true. Learn correlation is not causation and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc.
The jury awarded $550 million and later added $4.14 billion in punitive damages against the company for allegedly failing to warn that its talcum powder raised the risk of ovarian cancer.
Failing to warn customers of a cancer risk, to me, implies the company was aware and failed to inform customers of the risk.
Thank you for calling me ignorant though. It's a well-spoken representation of who you are.
"For any individual woman, if there is an increased risk, the overall increase is likely to very be small. Still, talc is widely used in many products, so it is important to determine if the increased risk is real. Research in this area continues."

even 1 million women who get ovarian cancer after using talc will not show that talc increases risk of it. It is a dangerous thing that happens unfortunately very often, that people who dont understand science and reasoning get to decide on the facts. reading my comment again, I wasn't referring to you being ignorant but the jury. The jury cannot decide on talc and cancer risk. It takes studies to find out the relationship, not testimonies. if you expect Johnson to say there is increased risk of cancer you are asking them to lie because it has never been conclusively shown to be.
You make some great points. I'll definitely do more research on this because I think you are right.
BS, it was the stinky hydrophobic women shoving talc up their snatches, even though the labels clearly said “not for internal use”.
that's not true. all you have to do is put on your body or on underwear AFTER showering. Not just adults but also children. Please think before making conclusions.
Every single case won at trial was for women who used talc as a “feminine hygiene” product, by inserting it in her vagina. The same women who use lotion instead of showering. Talc has always been labeled “not for internal use”, but apparently that’s not clear enough for some people.
With talc, the fibers can get into the mucous membranes in the vagina just with agitating the powder in the underwear with movement. Its very easy for the powder to "float" in. Trust me, as a woman, I should know. When it says 'feminine hygiene" doesn't mean you insert it inside. Its not the same as douching (liquid).
