How many people read the warnings, or information on safe use, especially for something that the safety issue has only been really understood recently and people remember (and carry on) as they've they've been using or their parents used it.
As RxR says, on of the big problems was the "baby powder", so even if the parents use it carefully that doesn't mean baby/toddler doesn't get it somewhere they're not meant to.
I remember we all used talc as kids. Mum and dad and three sons.
Like it was just part of bath time.
I stopped using it frequently 30 years ago. But always had some around for the odd occasion.
It was always J&J.
Mums 80 and not succumbed.. and the men are so far ok.
I don’t know of anything beyond ovarian cancer… but lung cancer I’d have thought would be on the list too based on the nature of the product.

you think people should be able to sell products that give people diseases like cancer?
are you still using 20 year old cancer causing non stick pans?

They can, as long as they can be suitably taxed
That tax is't paying for all the cancer the product is causing though is it.They can, as long as they can be suitably taxed
tax payers are paying for it.

As far as I’m aware, my old man’s never had any issues with his jolly bag other than, let’s say, a zip fastener injury during a comfort break at Richard Charnock services on a family trip to the Lake District many years ago.

Jolly.

A Dick Charnock break does sound painful to be fair.

As far as I'm aware, there were no proven cases of talc and asbestos in the UK but Johnson's decided to stop producing it.
There are too many money chasing lawyers who have decided to follow this and push cases through, even without evidence. They're quite blatant about it on their websites. For example: "We are leading the fight against Johnson & Johnson to get compensation and justice for hundreds of its clients in the UK who have used talc and developed cancer.
You do not need to demonstrate that a cancer diagnosis was attributed to talc use, and we do not need evidence of talc purchase."
So it's no surprise that they stopped production.

So essentially they're saying you just point over there and say "It woz them that did it guv" and it'd be case closed?
No wonder they stopped producing it.
I don't use talc and I don't have cancer. How do I claim some compensation money?
