Forrest v. Johnson & Johnson

Summary

In this cosmetic talc lawsuit, Vickie Forrest developed cancer after years of using Johnson & Johnson's talc powder. She sues Johnson & Johnson, claiming asbestos present within the powder caused her ovarian cancer.

Representatives for Forrest cite results from the FDA that Johnson's baby powder contained asbestos.

Representatives for Johnson & Johnson dispute these claims, arguing that these test results were inaccurate and due to possible contamination or error. Additionally, they state that Johnson & Johnson's talc has been safely used for over a century, with Forrest developing a very rare type of cancer.
