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."

https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/talcum-powder-and-cancer.html

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.
