Talc Lawyers - Call 1 (866) 952-1422

Talcum Powder is a proven carcinogen and has remained unregulated while millions of people are unknowingly exposed to the toxic substance.

Attorney R. Allen Smith, Jr. of The Talc Litigation Group filed the very first talcum ovarian cancer lawsuit on December 7, 2009. This talc lawsuit is a toxic tort that seeks damages against several talcum powder mining companies, refiners, manufacturers and product distributors for continuing to manufacture, market, and sell a product that has been medically proven to cause cancers such as ovarian cancer.

This talcum power lawsuit is the first of many other talc related cancer lawsuits that are to be investigated and filed by The Talc Litigation Group. Mr. Smith is working with the two of the foremost medical experts on the subject of talc and ovarian cancer (Daniel Cramer, MD and John Godieski, MD). Mr. Cramer and Mr. Godleski
have published medical findings concerning talcum powder and ovarian cancer.

A non-related study published in 1996 was done by examining the ovaries of women who had had them removed for reasons other than ovarian cancer. In that study, talc powder was found in all the ovaries including the ones from women did not use talc powder on themselves. This suggests that talc powder could reach the ovaries of women who use talc powder on their babies.

OUR ATTORNEYS

R. Allen Smith, Jr. - After graduating law school, attorney Allen Smith looked for a way to help people who had suffered illnesses and injuries while in the work force, but in the past they were not able to find an ally to advocate for their causes. He found his niche in looking out for those working in industries that often failed to protect their employees against the known dangers in working with lung damaging agents such as silica, asbestos, and benzene.

After representing clients throughout the Southeast in litigations nationwide, Allen decided to open The Smith Law Firm, P.L.L.C. in 2007. Attorney Smith has the knowledge, litigation skills, and experience to take on those corporations that would deny you of your just treatment and care. With years of knowledge and research, he has provided his clients tens of millions of dollars in awards for those injured by exposure to silica.
