Rayleigh: A family is heartbroken after losing their mother, Maureen Wright, to ovarian cancer. They believe her use of talcum powder is to blame and are now taking legal action against Johnson & Johnson.
Maureen’s sons, Richard, Robert, and Michael, along with their dad, Jeffrey, are determined to seek justice. They think the talcum powder she used might have been contaminated with asbestos, which could have led to her illness.
Richard, who was just 13 when his mom passed away, says they want answers. He recalls the painful moments of losing her and how it still affects them today. “We want someone to be held accountable,” he said.
Maureen was known for her kindness and dedication to cancer charities, even while battling her illness. Her family remembers her as a vibrant woman who brought joy to those around her.
Jeffrey shared how talcum powder was a staple in their home. He remembers the smell and taste of it from kisses with Maureen. They never suspected it could lead to such a tragedy.
Now, they’re part of a larger group of women in the UK who are also pursuing legal action against the company. They hope to shed light on the potential dangers of talcum powder.
Johnson & Johnson has faced numerous lawsuits in the US over similar claims. The company insists its products are safe and has announced plans to stop making talc-based powder globally.
As the family navigates this difficult journey, they remain hopeful for justice and want to raise awareness about the possible risks associated with talcum powder.
