A jury in the US state of Missouri has ordered Johnson & Johnson (J&J) to pay $72m (£51m) to the family of a woman who claimed her death was linked to use of the company's Baby Powder talc.

Jackie Fox from Birmingham, Alabama died of ovarian cancer last year, aged 62, having used the talc for decades.

I won't have talc in the house, never used it, it can aggravate asthma and can cause bacteria on the body.

I've never used talc, too messy. I hate it when you go to the pool & someone has been using it in the changing cubicle, it gets all over your clothes

Never use talc, do not like it.
