In recent years, manufacturers of various body powders containing talc have been named as defendants in litigation alleging that the talc caused the plaintiffs’ cancers. An issue that has been raised by plaintiffs is that asbestos and talc are geologically similar, and are the result of the same geological conditions. Therefore, according to the American Cancer Society, it is not unusual to find talc deposits in proximity to asbestos. Asbestos lung cancer and other asbestos diseases have long been considered occupational hazards for talc miners. What many consumers do not realize is that many types of cosmetics – including blush, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick – contain talc. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with Scott Hardy, President of Top Class Actions.
