The son of a woman who was a"true fan" of Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder, who made it a"necessary part of our hygienic routine," testified before lawmakers on Tuesday, asking for help for women like his mother, who died of ovarian cancer after regularly using talc-based powder.
"I ask that this body use whatever power in its disposal to assist in bringing about justice for my mother," Marvin Salter said. Salter's mother, Jackie Fox, sued J&J after she was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer in 2013. She did not live to see the trial in 2016, but a jury awarded her family $72 million. The decision was later overturned.$4.
"As it pertains to today's hearing, the testimony was biased with a majority of witnesses being connected to litigation against our company. As a result, decades of studies concluding that Johnson's Baby Powder is free of asbestos and safe to use were not discussed, and the subcommittee did not hear the preponderance of evidence that supports the safety of our product," he wrote.

This crap is bad
My mom has used it for 81 years and me for 60. No issues. Genetics and other factors may exacerbate usage issues.
That's cruel!!!
Why did put powder in her ovaries? JohnsonJohnson is not meant for internal use.
I didn’t know there were “true fans” of baby powder. But ok 👍
Lalasheyhey
Would USAmbUK be drawn on this or is he too busy trying to get the Brexit-weakened UK to trash its health and food standards in order to allow US products currently deemed unfit for human consumption entry?
Cease this lawsuit. It is theft through the Extortion with Murder of the infirmed! J & J has always been there for You in a good way.
I'm just curious. What does talc have to do with feminine hygiene? I just don't understand why anyone would powder lady parts. Wouldn't that dry it out? Was this some old school practice before my generation?
