"Despite maintaining all along that the company’s talcum powder products were safe to use, Johnson & Johnson issued a recall of the company’s baby powder after the Food & Drug Administration detected a type of asbestos in a product sample in October 2019. Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral, is a known carcinogen," according to National Law Review.
The article continues on to say, "A 2017 trial held in Los Angeles County Superior Court resulted in a $417 million jury award, for example. In July 2018, a Missouri jury awarded a group of 22 plaintiffs nearly $4.7 billion, according to Reuters (that amount was later reduced to $2.12 billion by the Missouri Court of Appeals)."
If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or a related condition, you may be entitled to compensation.

I was referred to this firm over 15 years ago and though the intake and assessment of my case was very casual and comfortable, their handling of my case was professional and always a step ahead of the opposing attorneys .
