British Cancer Patients Sue US Cosmetics Giants Over Asbestos Risk

Dozens of British women are planning to sue US cosmetic companies after developing mesothelioma, a cancer most often caused by exposure to asbestos and traces of which have been found in products containing talc. Traces of asbestos have historically been found in various products, which can be present in talc due to how the two minerals are mined. Cosmetic brands use talc in products like eye shadow, foundation and blush because of its absorbency, and while it is itself harmless, it can be contaminated with asbestos. Johnson & Johnson announced last year that it would cease selling its trademark talc-based baby powder as the pharma giant was forced to pay out billions of dollars to women alleging it caused their cancer.
