A member asked:
Should we stop using deodorant with talc? (after the johnson and johnson trial)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal choice: Many talc-free deodorant options exist. I personally have no concerns and use many talc containing products. We can't equate a lawyer winning a lawsuit as the equivalent of scientific proof that something is harmful, especially when plenty of evidence exists to suggest that harm is overblown at worst and non-existent at best. Most juries have very poor understanding of science and statistics.
