Lawyers for the family say a jury in St Louis, Missouri, awarded $72 million in damages.

Scientists are divided over the potential risks of talc. Lawyers for Fox's family presented several studies they said prove the link between talc and ovarian cancer. Other studies say the evidence is too weak to make the connection.

The American Cancer Society says it is not clear if products containing talcum powder increase cancer risk. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organization, classifies talc as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."


I don't recall seeing this at all before.
