Talc and asbestos form in the ground together, so talc mined from some deposits can carry asbestos into finished products. That connection is the basis of the litigation over talcum powder and cosmetics. These articles follow the cases as they move — trial testimony, verdicts, appeals and the decisions companies have made in response.
