One of Allen’s greatest honors has been fighting on behalf of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer due to genital talc use.

NBC News

On July 30, 2017, Allen appeared on NBC News, “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly” – Talc on Trial

Kate Snow reports on the heated debate over talc, the main ingredient in baby power, which some believe can increase the risk of ovarian cancer. In the 18 months leading up to the interview, juries have ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay more than $300 million in damages while the company, which is appealing, insists their product is safe.
