TALC AND CANCER CLAIMS

At Porter Malouf, P.A., we fight hard for those who have been injured due to talcum powder exposure. In fact, R. Allen Smith, Jr., an attorney in our Talc Litigation Group, filed the first successful talcum powder lawsuit in 2009 against several talcum powder mining companies, refiners, and manufacturers. Brought by plaintiff Deane Berg, the toxic tort action specifically alleged that the defendants continue to produce, market, and sell talcum powder despite their knowledge that it can cause certain cancers, including ovarian cancer. In 2013, a federal jury ruled in favor of Ms. Berg as a result of her injuries, giving hope to the thousands of women who have developed ovarian cancer after years of using this dangerous substance.
