The subject of the interview was a recent verdict against Johnson & Johnson for causing ovarian cancer in women with its talc products. Winkler says that more lawsuits like this arecoming, as studies prove a link between talc and ovarian cancer, which Johnson & Johnson denies. Winkler says that internal documents reveal that the company knew about the dangers present in its products, which remain on the shelves and do not warn about a cancer risk. Winkler recommends that women with ovarian cancer talk to a lawyer to find out if their cancer might be caused by these products. Those who have lost loved ones due to ovarian cancer may also have legal options.



"I hope that because of these lawsuits, women learn and understand that this product is dangerous and they stop using it, and other women that have suffered from ovarian cancer get tested and find out if there is a link between their ovarian cancer and the product," she said. "I hope they get tested and I hope they find some answers."
