The Mike Kelly Law Group has a very close working relationship with the Beasley Allen Law Firm out of Montgomery, AL. They are national leaders in pursuing high-end plaintiff’s litigation of all types, and when we at the MKLG come across an injured victim that requires exceptional fire power in order to effectuate a just result, we associate the Beasley Allen firm.

Beasley Allen has made me aware of a new cause of action they are pursuing – talcum powder litigation.

Studies are showing a link between the use of talcum powder and ovarian cancer. Talcum powder has be used since the 1890s, and today about 40% of women still use talcum powder. Sadly, each year 25,000-30,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and scientists believe that approximately 10% of these cases (2,500 to 3,000) are related to the use of talcum powder.

Last week a jury in the state of Missouri awarded a 72 million dollar verdict to the family of Jackie Fox against Johnson and Johnson, producer of baby powder. Fox died of ovarian cancer in October 2015 and evidence showed a link between her cancer and her long term use of Johnson and Johnson’s talc product.
