How Johnson & Johnson Is Trying to Rob Cancer Victims

More Perfect Union | January 12, 2026



Johnson & Johnson knew their baby powder contained asbestos and caused cancer. They covered it up. A generation of women suffered, linking their ovarian cancer to J&J. But the $370 billion company could get away with it using a shady legal move: the Texas Two Step.

    Ur doing a really great job trying to make lots of people aware of corporates slowing killing us just to make profits out of it.
    At least in USA people r becoming more aware of what's happening but in developing nations like India where these corporates shift their factories due to regulations in USA. They do the same what they r did in USA.
    And people of India are not aware of such things happening bcoz either these people who try to make people aware are silenced or people don't care.
    I hope ur channel gets a global expansion covering different nations especially developing nations in the future.
    Our nation needs people like u who uncover the real identities of such greedy companies.

    All these companies knew about all these things for years they knew in the 20s that asbestos cause cancer they knew DDT was bad. They knew it all lead in gasoline Teflon everything the only way that us consumers can get back at these companies is one simple thing do not buy anything they make. That’s the worst thing a corporation could ever have done to them. Don’t buy their shit.

    Now that Trump is in office, they’ll probably get away with it. I wonder how many people have health problems related to this, but it just didn’t turn into cancer.

    Damn good timing just bought a Johnson and Johnson baby powder and gold bond baby powder. I felt uncomfortable and a bit of pain using it. It says it's safe but clearly not. Even the talc free powder seems to be harsh. Might try regular corn starch now. Idk if I should return them to Walmart or throw them away. I have also been using foot powder for about 6 months as well. Going to have to look into that.

    My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in 2020. She was treated at the best cancer hospital in the world (MD Anderson in Houston) and was cured but suffered terribly. The loss of all her hair, vomiting, an ostomy bag and tubes sticking through her back into each kidney, food tasting like metal. My two daughters and myself felt so sorry for her having all the pain. She used Johnson and Johnson baby powder and Shower To Shower since she was very young. She is a client in this lawsuit. We give all glory to God. Hope this suit ends soon.

    People always ask "why?" Money. Period. And a lot of the very same people that curse government regulations are the first to cry foul when something impacts them directly – "why didn't the government do more to stop this?"

    Wow, it's really unbelievable and really good documentary. The fuck….ing companies are really bast…rds, they are devils, they really just care about money, of course thye're following the ANTI-HUMAN AGENDA AROUND THE WORLD. I'M SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAS THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE…. And I remember one friend that uses this talc for everything…… I hope she will be ok in the future. THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION, LET'S SHARE.

    The fact that my blood and step sisters and brothers, and my cousins could develop cancer because of what J&J did, due to the possibility of our parents having been tricked into trusting that the talc baby powder was safe and using it on us just makes my hatred for the capitalist pig dogs more personal, that they’re trying to pay as little as possible to the confirmed victims, block future lawsuits from other affected people not covered by the current suits, and pay as few victims as possible by dragging their feet and creating subsidiaries to take the hit whilst victims run out of time is already awful, that they’ve spent decades covering up and paying off scientists to defend them and successive administrations have done nothing to stop them despite knowing the risks simply because they benefit financially from it is just the icing of crud onto the cake of vomit.

    They should be fined for falsefying the need to go bankrupt and the loophole needs to be closed, Any product that is intended for sale to the public should be thoroughly tested and retested while it is being sold to the public as many more things can be found as more accurate testing equipment and ways of testing come in to existence,by trying to distance themselves and creating subsideries that will take the blame for any wrong doing should result in harsher penalties for these companies and they all should face a fine.
