Summary

In the second season of Verified, Host Natasha Del Toro and the Verified team again ask tough questions about whom we trust and why. After one woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she begins to suspect her daily dusting of Johnson & Johnson's baby powder might have caused her illness. Could a product so many of us have in our medicine cabinets be putting us at risk? Verified: Dust Up looks at Johnson & Johnson's battle to convince the public that baby powder is safe and pure, despite research from scientists that it may not be.
