Products Containing Talcum Powder
Talc powder, which has traditionally been used in products like baby powder, is a mineral made of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It is widely-used for personal care products because it helps keep skin smooth and dry. Since talc powder is a cosmetic product, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate it as a medication.
However, a test conducted by the FDA in 2019 found trace levels of asbestos contamination in a Johnson & Johnson talc-based baby powder, leading to a voluntary recall. Johnson & Johnson is not the only company that has had products pulled off the shelves. Other products named in lawsuits include:
- CVS baby powders
- Rite Aid Baby Powders
- Angel Of Mine Baby Powder
- Family Dollar Mild Baby Powder
- Anti-Monkey Butt Body Powder
- Colgate-Palmolive Cashmere Bouquet
If you or a family member used a talc powder-based product and developed cancer, consider contacting a talc powder attorney. The team from Cordisco & Saile LLC can help protect your rights. Call 215-642-2335 for a free consultation.

Talc Powder may Cause Serious Health Conditions or Death
Companies have a duty to warn customers about the potential dangers of its products on the packaging. Without adequate warning, you may not be aware that you are using a potentially dangerous product until being diagnosed with a health condition, such as cancer.
Health conditions associated with frequent talc use include:
- Mesothelioma
- Ovarian cancer
- Talcosis
- Death
You should not have to pay for injuries caused by the negligence of a massive corporation on your own.
