Cover your medical bills
Treating talc-related cancer can be extremely expensive, with some procedures costing tens of thousands of dollars. This does not account for the added costs of hospital stays, therapy plans, and lost income if you can no longer work.
Hold manufacturers accountable
Instead of warning anyone or recalling their products, talcum powder companies actively worked to hide the dangers of their products. In the process, they made billions of dollars while innocent people suffered.
