Class Action Claims Baby Powder has Carcinogenic Properties

An experienced epidemiologist was needed in a civil court case between a company that manufactures baby powder and past users who claimed that the product had given them cancer. The long-term health impact of the powder was brought into question by the case, which featured a woman who used the powder up to three times a day over the course of ten years. Allegedly, the ubiquitous integration of the product into her daily life had left her at risk to long-term exposure and marketing manipulation.

Question(s) For Expert Witness

1. Do you routinely evaluate health outcomes associated manufactured product exposure?

2. Are you able to develop an analysis of cancer risks (specifically ovarian) in populations exposed to talc?

Expert Witness Response E-077939

I do routinely evaluate health outcomes attributable to manufactured products and other environmental risks. I am quite familiar with the association between talc and ovarian cancer. I am well-equipped and experienced at developing and analysis of cancer risks in populations exposed to talcum powder products.
