Talcum powder cancer claims: the facts


Most recognisable as the creator of family favourite baby products, Johnson & Johnson have been in the headlines for other reasons this week after being ordered to pay $417m to a California woman who claimed their talcum powder gave her ovarian cancer after allegedly using it for 50 years. The jury's decision to award the woman such a huge sum was the company's biggest compensation payout to date and was a heavy PR blow for the company that sells itself on being a safe and delicate product that even newborn babies can use.
