Reply to comment by BroHanzo in J&J’s Talc Bankruptcy Case Thrown Out by Appeals Court by L_Cranston_Shadow
The product likely isn't harmful. You don't need to worry too much about it. A ton of follow-up studies have been done on it. The evidence of it causing cancer isn't great. Don't feel bad for them though, they've likely used their money to dodge lawsuits that actually deserved to lose in the past. If you want to be a multi-billion dollar company you better be willing to deal with the risks of the business.

Uhh, you are aware of what the lawsuit was about right? It was about ovarian cancer. Did you read the article above? If this case were about breathing in small particles, the makers of Fun Dip would be fucked too. This case is about very specific medical claims. I don't feel sympathy for J&J, but I'm not going to pretend that a jury gets to have the final word on science. I can laugh at them for getting fucked over and read about the evidence at the same time. It's not a binary choice here.

I did you said there was no cancer risk, if it causes cancer in the lungs it’s not a huge leap to it’s carcinogenic and therefore causes cancer…

It's a massive leap to say that. There is a ton of evidence about small particles getting trapped in the lungs leading to cellular damage. That causes the cells in the lungs to mutate into cancer. Ovaries don't function the same way your lungs do. It's why not using sunscreen puts you at risk for skin cancer and not pancreatic cancer. Different cancers have different causes.

Yeah and asbestos in you talc will cause cancer, get a clue.

A "wow, thanks for explaining basic things about cancer to me" would have been nice too. Take care, Dunning-Kruger.
