An Illinois woman has filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson over their talcum powder products. Lynne Cebulske alleges that she developed ovarian cancer after using Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower to Shower body powder for feminine hygiene purposes.
Cebulske filed the complaint in St. Clair County Court in Illinois on May 14. Throughout the United States there are a growing number of talcum baby and body powder lawsuits filed by women who allege that Johnson & Johnson failed to warn about the ovarian cancer risk associated with the talcum products.
Cebulske was diagnosed with ovarian cancer on May 14, 2012, after using Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder products since 1992.
