I rarely use baby powder these days but I used it when I was younger specially when your all sweaty from school. But I never thought using it can give you serious implication, or any sort of illness. Never even considered pouring it in your sex organ, which was totally odd to me

Apparently this Lady this and now she got some sort of Ovarian cancer. That's just insane! I wonder if they had a medical evidence to prove this. Well, she somehow won a case against the company and got 70m$ worth of damages pay

Woman who blamed baby powder for her cancer awarded $70 million

Deborah Giannecchini of Modesto, California blamed Johnson & Johnson's baby powder product, which she used intimately for many years for her ovarian cancer.

I never used baby powder but I still do not believe it would cause cancer.

It could be a possibility specially if their parts were exposed to it for a long time @Hatley I feel sad for this lady though.

That's interesting story but baby powder should not be use where it shouldn't be. Babies should also avoid inhaling the powder.

Johnson & Johnson is a hugely respectable name.If their baby powder can give cancer we must be alarmed.

Hello @franxav and they have been around for a long time, maybe they should pouring it to the baby's sensitive part.

The reason why I also discourage relatives to prevent using that product; better use organic ones like Human Nature products.

Really? Maybe depends on its brand. Most people at my hometown use Tender Care and Johnson's but not pouring on it down there

Hello @AkoPinay I don't even know why they even bother doing it? it's just good on the upper part or back of your body.
