A power morcellator is a device used to aid in the removal of large amounts of tissue in laparoscopic surgeries. The use of morcellators to divide masses of tissue before their removal from bodily cavities helps make surgeries less invasive and thereby less painful and risky, making this a popular practice in the recent past.

Awesome firm! Chris Connolly took time to listen and review our situation. He was very honest and upfront about the process and potential outcomes. My daughter’s case has some complexities and Chris explained every detail and possibility. Bottom line, he fought for us and won!!! I would rate them 10 stars if possible.

I had the chance to speak with Anna Hamrick and Katie Gates, and their professionalism truly stood out. From 2024 to 2026, everything was handled well, with a level of confidence, honesty, and calm presence. They took their time with me, explained everything clearly, and treated me with real care and respect. Their dedication and work ethic are admirable; I’m genuinely grateful for the way they guided me.

Needing an attorney was never something I wanted to need, but I did and thanks to Anna H. and Katie G. it was not so overwhelming. Having to deal with a legal issue and having a trusted attorney is key. I had no idea what to expect during the duration of the time I needed legal representation but Anna and Katie not only keep me well informed but also explained things to me in a way that made sense. If you happen to find yourself in need of legal representation I highly recommend them.

Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder Lawsuit Verdicts
In May 2016, a jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $55 million to a a South Dakota woman who said she developed ovarian cancer after using talc-base powder made by the company. This verdict was the second against Johnson & Johnson in the same state within a month. In the first case, the jury awarded $72 million to the family of an Alabama woman who died from ovarian cancer. Her cancer was also blamed on the use of talc-based powder made by Johnson & Johnson.
About 1,200 lawsuits has been filed again Johnson & Johnson claiming talcum powder produced by the company increases the risk of ovarian cancer in women when used in the genital area. The suits also allege Johnson & Johnson has known about the connection between talcum powder and ovarian cancer since 1982.
In a 1982 article in the New York Times, Johnson & Johnson criticized the study linking the use of talcum powder and ovarian cancer.
Dr. Daniel Cramer of Harvard University, an author of that study, estimates that over 10,000 cases of ovarian cancer per year are associated with regular exposure to talc, a major ingredient in many powder products marketed at both adults and children. At least one study shows that the use of talcum powder in the genital area can increase the ovarian cancer risk by 33 percent.
Talc, like that used in Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder, is a mineral combination of silicon, magnesium, oxygen, and several other elements. When regularly applied to the genital area, talcum powder can travel through the vagina and fallopian tubes to the ovaries, where concentration can cause or contribute to cancer.
Often, seemingly harmless daily products can prove dangerous to those who use them. In the United States, systems are in place to protect consumers but if companies act without transparency, people can get hurt.
If you or a loved one have suffered from or currently suffer from ovarian cancer and have at some time been a regular user of a talc-based product for personal hygiene, you may need the help of an attorney to protect your legal rights. The attorneys at Grimes Teich Anderson know personal injury law and can help protect your interests.
