The lawsuit - brought by KP Law - alleges that Johnson & Johnson (J&J) was aware as early as the 1960s that its mineral-based talcum powder contained fibrous forms of talc, as well as tremolite and actinolite. Both minerals - when in their fibrous form - are classified as asbestos and linked to potentially deadly cancers. 🤔

Hope it doesn't rot your dancing shoes😁

Some people went way over the top with that suff on the dance floor and there were clouds of the stuff in the air, not good.

I remember jumping off the stage at the Cleethorpes Pier slipping Arse over Tit and getting a round of applause and some Wag saying "Nice Back Drop Rick!" Happy Days 🤩

missed S off the word some

There's a thing: how far back are we going with the scene's usage of talc on dancefloors?. Is it a case it wasn't a subject of discussion in the 70's ( if it was used ) it was just taken for granted and nobody actually complained about the state of dancefloors back then either...just throw the talc down....honestly...i can't to my knowledge, remember seeing anyone put talc down at venues back then.

I'm sure it was used at the Casino if only to dry out the soles of your dancing shoes , after a visit to the toilets , and any venue with a Lino type dance floor .

Only 3k people involved with the claim , they're lucky it's so few, the practice of shaking talcom powder on probably every child's body , since it was invented I'm surprised it not millions of claiments

The claim would only those people (mostly female) who developed cancer from it in later life.
