Talcum powder is made primarily from talc, a mineral containing the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Used in baby and facial powders, cosmetics, and other consumer products, talc absorbs moisture and can be used to reduce chafing against the skin. But despite its wide use for decades, talcum powder has been linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer in some women.

On June 23, 2020, the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld a jury verdict that Johnson & Johnson's talcum powder caused ovarian cancer in 22 women, and ordered the company to pay $2.1 billion.

On May 19, 2020, Johnson & Johnson announced it was stopping sales of its talc-based baby powder in the U.S. and Canada.

During these trials, lawyers for the victim’s family claimed Johnson & Johnson knew about the talc powder cancer risk for decades, but failed to warn consumers to protect profits. Johnson & Johnson still faces more than 1,000 talcum powder cancer lawsuits in state courts.
