These allegations have included Johnson &amp; Johnson baby powder.<\/p>\n<p>These are allegations made in lawsuits; whether they are proven depends on the evidence and the outcome of each case.<\/p>\n<p>The science is more cautious.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/cosmetics\/cosmetic-ingredients\/talc\">FDA talc and ovarian cancer page<\/a> says some scientific literature has suggested a possible link between genital talc use and ovarian cancer. It also says the evidence has not conclusively established a link.<\/li>\n<li>For general background on the disease, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/content\/dam\/cancer-org\/cancer-control\/en\/booklets-flyers\/ovarian-cancer-fact-sheet.pdf\">American Cancer Society fact sheet<\/a> on ovarian cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Claims that a company knew about a risk are also allegations. Only a court ruling or the company&#8217;s own public statement can establish what it knew. Companies may also raise defenses.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.1257.html\">\u00a7 768.1257<\/a>, a design-based claim against a manufacturer requires the finder of fact to consider the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time of manufacture. It does not look at the time of loss or injury. Your doctors can answer medical questions about your own history.<\/p>\n<h2>Who May Bring a Talc Claim in Duval County<\/h2>\n<p>A woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer may be able to bring her own claim.<\/p>\n<p>After a death, certain family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim. Who may sue depends on the facts and Florida law.<\/p>\n<p>Florida&#8217;s wrongful death law is known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.16.html\">Florida Wrongful Death Act<\/a>. It covers sections 768.16 through 768.26.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.20.html\">\u00a7 768.20<\/a>, the personal representative brings the action. This is the person appointed to handle the estate of the person who died. That person recovers for the survivors and the estate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.18.html\">\u00a7 768.18<\/a> defines survivors to include the spouse, children, and parents. Blood relatives and adoptive brothers and sisters may also count. They may count when they were partly or wholly dependent on the person who died for support or services.<\/p>\n<p>Florida also has a comparative fault rule. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">\u00a7 768.81<\/a>, for causes of action filed after March 24, 2023, a party found more than 50 percent at fault for his or her own harm may not recover any damages, and a party found 50 percent or less at fault generally has damages reduced in proportion to that fault. How the statute applies depends on the facts of each case and on applicable Florida law. This rule does not apply to medical negligence actions under chapter 766.<\/p>\n<p>A Duval County family should not assume who qualifies. Each family&#8217;s situation is different. The answer may change with the facts.<\/p>\n<h2>Records Jacksonville Families May Want to Gather Before Calling<\/h2>\n<p>Some records may show the product, the years of use, and the diagnosis and treatment. Gathering them may be relevant to evaluating a potential claim, depending on the facts of each case.<\/p>\n<p>For Jacksonville families exploring talcum powder lawsuits, these items may be useful:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The product name and brand, from the container or label<\/li>\n<li>The years of use, even as a close estimate<\/li>\n<li>Receipts, store records, or online order history, if they exist<\/li>\n<li>Pathology and diagnosis reports from the cancer diagnosis<\/li>\n<li>Treatment records, discharge papers, and letters from your doctors<\/li>\n<li>Original containers, or clear photos of the label, if you still have them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Medical records help show the diagnosis and history. On their own, they may not establish what caused the illness.<\/p>\n<p>Keep all medical paperwork together. Bring it when you call.<\/p>\n<h2>Where the Talc Litigation Stands and How Cases May Be Handled<\/h2>\n<p>Talc claims may proceed in state or federal court. Where a case stands can change over time.<\/p>\n<p>Any status update is accurate only as of its date. Settlements, verdicts, and court rulings change.<\/p>\n<p>A talc matter may be referred to, or handled together with, another law firm. Nothing here means CHG will handle a talc claim alone. Nothing here means CHG serves as lead counsel in any federal consolidated case.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.

A missed deadline may limit or end a claim.

It also sets a repose rule for some products. A repose rule is an outer time limit.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Under \u00a7 95.031(2)(b), a product claim generally may not be started for harm from use more than 12 years after first delivery to a buyer who did not sell or use it in the business. This rule covers products with an expected useful life of 10 years or less.<\/li>\n<li>Section 95.031(2)(c) says the bar may not apply if the exposure happened within that period but the injury appeared later, and \u00a7 95.031(2)(d) tolls the repose period only while the manufacturer, through its officers, directors, partners or managing agents, had actual knowledge of the defect and took affirmative action to conceal it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because deadlines may apply, a prompt review may be helpful, depending on the facts of each case.<\/p>\n<h2>Serving Jacksonville and Northeast Florida from Coral Gables<\/h2>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based firm.
