For decades, millions of Americans used Johnson & Johnson talcum products, such as Baby Powder, daily. That has all changed drastically as recent scientific research has revealed that long-term use of talcum powder products can cause cancer. The discovery of the link between talcum powder and cancer has led to thousands of talcum powder lawsuits and the disappearance of various products from retail shelves.

The recall of certain talcum powder products (such as J&J’s Baby Powder) has left many consumers searching for alternatives to meet their daily hygiene needs. Fortunately, there are many talcum powder alternatives that do not cause cancer. You can find some of these alternatives in local supermarkets, drug stores, or online.

What the Lawsuit Is About?

We can all agree that NFL apparel is expensive.  A new lawsuit against the NFL claims that antitrust violations are a big part of the reason.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the National Football League (NFL) and sports merchandise leader Fanatics in a Manhattan federal court. An Illinois resident accuses the NFL and its 32 teams of conspiring with Fanatics, based in Jacksonville, Florida, to monopolize the online retail market for licensed sports merchandise like jerseys and t-shirts. The suit claims this has led to consumers paying artificially high prices due to stifled competition.

The lawsuit alleges that instead of engaging in competitive sales, the NFL and its teams have effectively given Fanatics exclusive control over the market, with the sports merchandise company sharing its monopoly profits with the teams. This arrangement is said to have disadvantaged other retailers.
