CHICAGO — An estate administrator is suing Johnson & Johnson and Walgreen Co. for allegedly taking insufficient measures to prevent injuries.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges McGinnis was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which was allegedly found to have been caused by prolonged exposure to talcum powder. The plaintiff holds the defendants responsible for allegedly failing to warn McGinnis about the possibility of getting cancer due to being exposed to the talcum powder that was allegedly in their baby powder.
