Q: What happens with a Product Liability/Talcum Powder case when the woman was diagnosed with Endometrial Carcinoma?
A:
An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. You are describing a setting where the applicable legal theory would be based on products liability. That means the claimant tries to show a connection between use of a potentially dangerous product and a resulting injury. In general, these cases tend to involve large classes of plaintiffs, sometimes spanning broad geographic regions. If you go online, you could research the current situation of these cases and look into law firms that might be handling them. Good luck

You want to contact the AzTLA (Arizona Trial Lawyers Assn) and ask for Pharmaceutical products liability attorneys.
They give free consults.
Hopefully, she knows what she used. She should go to a store and buy the EXACT size and type of container of that brand she used. If she used more than one brand buy one of each type if it's still produced in the identical container.
If she shopped for it at one store, and paid by credit card she needs to start getting her credit card records for as many years as she used it.
Most importantly, more than the above is that she goes to the best cancer specialist for her type of cancer that she can find.
A note--she likely will need very good medical care. If she is on Medicare, it will pay for her to have a supplement. If she isn't, she may be eligible for Social Security Disability due to her condition which would give her Medicare
