    I guess that's good  Spunky. I haven't heard of any lawsuits based on breast cancer! But we powdered our babies' butts with the stuff decades ago. Will there be a day when young males will be developing prostate cancer because of it or colon cancer? Gawd. I hope not. Thank you for your reply.:)

    I have to tell you that I am not totally convinced about the connection between baby powder and ovarian cancer.  That's one hell of a lot of baby powder.  I guess time will tell how it will affect males, if at all.

    Yes I use it, but I am careful not to get any in my ovaries!

    Millions use that product. She probably would have developed it anyway.

    I do NOT get this at all.  How can they prove she got it that way when millions use this stuff and no one is harmed.

    At least with Big Tobacco, most people are harmed. 

    How are they supposed to put something on a label when there is not proof that it is harmful to one person in a hundred thousand?
