Talc-cancer case: Johnson & Johnson asked to pay $72m
The woman, who was identified as Jackie Fox from Birmingham, Alabama, died after suffering from ovarian cancer in 2015.
She has been using the powder for several years.
She was 62.
"Her family's lawyers argued that the firm knew of cancer risks from the product and failed to warn consumers," BBC reported.
The company has denied charges leveled against it.
A spokeswoman was quoted as saying by BBC: "We have no higher responsibility than the health and safety of consumers, and we are disappointed with the outcome of the trial."
