The everyday products we trust the most can sometimes be the most dangerous—and talcum powder is proof. For generations, families across South Carolina have used talcum powder products believing they were safe, gentle, and pure. Instead, many of these products contained deadly asbestos fibers that have now been linked to serious cancers, including ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer after using talcum powder products, you don’t have to face this battle alone. Shapiro Legal Group, PLLC is representing people nationwide in talcum powder lawsuits, and we’re committed to holding negligent companies accountable for their actions. Contact us today to learn how we can help you seek the justice and compensation you deserve.
The Presence of Asbestos in Consumer Talc Products
Talc and asbestos—a group of cancer-causing minerals—often form together in nature. When mining companies extract talc from the ground, they often get asbestos mixed in. The responsible thing would be to remove the asbestos before selling the product to families. Instead, many companies took shortcuts and sold contaminated products for decades. Our talcum powder attorneys fight tirelessly for justice for the families harmed by talc and other known dangerous substances.
Testing has found asbestos in:
- Baby powder products from major brands
- Feminine hygiene powders
- Other body powders marketed as “pure” and “safe”
South Carolina families who trusted these products for routine personal care unknowingly exposed themselves to carcinogenic substances. Asbestos exposure can trigger cancer development years or decades later. Research has shown that women who applied talc-based products to the genital area have a substantially higher risk of ovarian cancer, an aggressive and deadly disease.
