I've been following this litigation for a long time, and everything in this post is right. The scientific evidence of a causal link between talc usage and ovarian cancer simply doesn't exist. What does exist: extremely sympathetic cancer patients that used talc, a faceless multinational corporation as defendant, a few documents in what was a huge amount of discovery that suggest disagreement over quality controls approaches and confidence in results, a bunch of plaintiff's attorneys on contingency-fees. Add in a significant dose of innuendo and hand-waving and you're eventually going to find a jury that'll give you a billion dollar verdict, and so it happened.
