Can Talcum Powder Use Lead to Cancer?
Talcum powder is made of talc, a naturally occurring mineral. Talc deposits naturally occur near asbestos in the earth, meaning talc can become contaminated with asbestos during mining. Asbestos is a known carcinogen that causes cancer, and this contamination has been found in various talcum powder products for decades.
When you use talcum powder in intimate areas, microscopic particles can travel through your reproductive system, potentially causing cellular damage over time. Studies have connected regular talcum powder use to ovarian cancer, one of the most dangerous forms of reproductive cancer. Additionally, people have developed mesothelioma, a rare cancer affecting the protective lining around internal organs, after exposure to asbestos-contaminated products.
How Do You Know If You Qualify for a Talcum Powder Lawsuit?
Not everyone who uses talcum powder and is diagnosed with cancer is eligible for a talcum powder lawsuit. You must have been diagnosed with a cancer related to talc exposure, such as ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. Additionally, you must prove that you used talcum powder regularly or were exposed to talc-containing products. An attorney from Shapiro Legal Group, PLLC can assess your situation and determine whether you qualify for a legal claim.
How Long Do You Have to File a Talcum Powder Lawsuit in Arkansas?
Arkansas law gives you three years from when you discovered or should have discovered your injury to file a talcum powder lawsuit. The clock typically starts running on the day of your cancer diagnosis. The court can dismiss your claim if you wait too long to file, so it is important to speak with a lawyer right away about your options and legal rights.
