Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

South Carolina Talc Powder Lawsuit Attorneys
Put Years of Experience on Your Side
If you or a loved one has suffered from cancer due to Talc Powder, reach out to our South Carolina Talc Powder Lawsuit Attorneys.
For decades, talcum powder products were advertised as safe for feminine hygiene use on a regular basis. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) in particular has maintained a clear marketing strategy to promote the use of talc in this way. Emerging research has shown, however, that talc powder applied for feminine hygiene can cause ovarian cancer, especially if it has been used for many years.
Christian & Christian is currently looking into talc powder lawsuits, claims, and mass torts. Our team of dangerous drug and medical device attorneys in Greenville, South Carolina have been representing the wrongfully injured for nearly 100 years of collective legal experience. As a law firm that never represents companies and major corporations, we have gained a reputation for truly being the peoples’ advocates.
Cancers Caused by Talc & Talc Powder Products
Talc powder has been considered dangerous to certain degrees for many decades. Researchers have long seen links between talc and various illnesses and cancers. Inhaling, ingesting, or otherwise coming into direct contact with talc can be hazardous. J&J has been criticized in numerous plaintiff claims for ignoring or dismissing previous evidence that talc powder had been linked to serious health conditions.
Studies have shown that talc can cause various cancers, including:
- Ovarian cancer when used for feminine hygiene
- Lung cancer in talc miners
- Uterine cancer
- Stomach cancer
Treating any of the aforementioned cancers can be expensive, requiring lifelong care and medical attention. It is also common for cancer patients to become debilitated, unable to maintain gainful employment. All of these costs and more — including pain and suffering damages — must all be considered when filing a talc powder lawsuit.

Frequently Asked Questions – Greenville Talc Powder
Lawsuits against manufacturers of talc-based products, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder, allege that the product is contaminated with asbestos and that long-term use can lead to ovarian cancer and other serious illnesses. The lawsuits claim that the manufacturers failed to adequately warn consumers about these risks and concealed knowledge of the asbestos contamination, which led to numerous injuries and wrongful deaths.
Studies have shown a link between the use of talc powder in the genital area and an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Additionally, some talc mines have been found to contain asbestos, a known carcinogen, which can contaminate the finished product. Inhalation or exposure to asbestos-contaminated talc has been linked to mesothelioma and other lung-related cancers. These claims are at the center of the lawsuits against talc powder manufacturers.
Symptoms of talc powder-related ovarian cancer can be similar to other forms of the disease. They may include pelvic pain or pressure, abdominal bloating, changes in bowel habits, and a frequent urge to urinate. If you have been a long-term user of talc-based products and experience any of these symptoms, you should consult with your doctor immediately and inform them of your product usage history.
If you or a loved one suffered from an illness related to talc powder, you may be entitled to a wide range of compensation. This can include economic damages, such as medical expenses and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for your pain and suffering and emotional distress. In cases of a manufacturer’s willful misconduct, a court may also award punitive damages to punish the company and deter future dangerous conduct.
When a dangerous drug or medical device injures a large number of people, their individual lawsuits may be consolidated into a mass tort or a multidistrict litigation (MDL). An MDL allows a single judge to oversee all of the cases from across the country to streamline the legal process. The lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson and other talc manufacturers have been consolidated into an MDL in New Jersey.
