Read more: Johnson & Johnson is sliding after a jury awarded $215 billion to 211971 women who said its talcum baby powder gave them cancerWhat J&J produced in response to those demands has allowed plaintiffs' lawyers to refine their argument: The culprit wasn't necessarily talc itself but also asbestos in the talc.
|
|
A third verdict, in St. Louis, was a watershed, broadening J&J's potential liability: The 22 plaintiffs were the first to succeed with a claim that asbestos-tainted Baby Powder and Shower to Shower talc, a longtime brand the company sold in 2012, caused ovarian cancer, which is much more common than mesothelioma.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Consumers expressed concern on social media about a talc-based baby powder made by Johnson & Johnson on Wednesday after a Missouri jury ordered the company to pay $2702518759815299072 million in damages to the family of a woman who said her death from cancer was linked to use of the product.

In 1995, at a news conference in Washington, Dr. Epstein, as chairman of the advocacy group Cancer Prevention Coalition, joined with the consumer advocate Ralph Nader to release a "dirty dozen" list of familiar household products — including a baby powder, a brand of toothpaste and an aerosol disinfectant — that they labeled dangerously toxic.
|
|
In a lawsuit filed in Mississippi state court in 2014, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood alleges that J&J failed to warn consumers of the risks associated with its talc products and accuses the company of implementing a "racially targeted strategy" for selling Baby Powder after J&J became aware of health concerns.
|
|
In the world of pharmaceutical giants, Johnson & Johnson, which had 2018 sales of $81 billion, is widely known for being more inclined to try lawsuits in court than to settle, most recently in a slew of cases in which plaintiffs alleged that its talc-based baby powder caused cancer in some consumers.
|
|
Eva Echeverria, 63, of East Los Angeles is one of thousands of women who have sued the consumer products giant Johnson & Johnson claiming baby powder caused their disease, pointing to studies linking talc to cancer that date to 1971, when scientists in Wales discovered particles of talc embedded in ovarian and cervical tumors.

Boss Baby looks disoriented, landing on the conveyor belt backwards and screwing up the whole process from the beginning — he gets baby powder on his face instead of his butt, his diaper is put on backwards, (oh no, his face seems to say, my tiny unseen penis!) his shoes are shoved onto his hands.

A $117 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson and a supplier in favor of a man who said his asbestos-related cancer was caused by long-term use of J&J's Baby Powder could open a new front for thousands of cases claiming the widely-used product caused cancer, legal experts and plaintiffs lawyers said.
|
|
Baby powder has long been recommended to relieve chafing or to reduce the appearance of bumpy post-shave inflammation; however, studies show that the very product many women use to soothe a sore vulva may in fact end up causing a world of pain—in the form of notoriously hard-to-detect ovarian cancer.
|
|
As adults became ever more crucial to the brand – accounting for 91 percent of Baby Powder use by the mid-2000s – J&J honed its powder pitches to court a variety of targeted markets, from teen-focused ads touting the product's "fresh and natural" qualities, to promotions aimed at older minority and overweight women.
|
|
In what may be the largest award so far in a lawsuit tying ovarian cancer to talcum powder, a Los Angeles jury on Monday ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $417 million in damages to a medical receptionist who developed ovarian cancer after using the company's trademark Johnson's Baby Powder on her perineum for decades.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A $117 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson and a supplier in favor of a man who said his asbestos-related cancer was caused by long-term use of J&J's Baby Powder could open a new front for thousands of cases claiming the widely-used product caused cancer, legal experts and plaintiffs lawyers said.

NEW YORK, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Wall Street's three major indexes slumped on Friday as weak data from China and Europe stoked fears of a global economic slowdown, while Johnson & Johnson was a major drag on the S&P 63 and Dow after Reuters reported the company had known knew for decades that asbestos lurked in its Baby Powder.
|
|
Senator Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat on the Environment and Public Works Committee, on Friday sent a letter to the head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration calling on the agency to investigate the findings in the Reuters report to determine whether J&J misled regulators and whether its Baby Powder products threaten public health and safety.
|
|
Earlier this year, two separate juries ruled against the company: In February, a St. Louis jury awarded $72 million to the family of a woman named Jacqueline Fox, who died from ovarian cancer in October 2015 after years of using talc-containing products from Johnson & Johnson, most notably their baby powder and Shower-to-Shower body powder marketed for feminine hygiene.

Nineteen years old, backpack on my shoulders as I tried not to skid on the baby powder that covered the dance floor at Red Zone in Midtown Manhattan — house dancers used to sprinkle the powder on the ground so our sneakers had more traction — while D.J. Basil brought dancers to tears by playing "Optimistic" by Sounds of Blackness at dawn.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson on Monday scrambled to contain fallout from a Reuters report that the healthcare conglomerate knew for decades that cancer-causing asbestos lurked in its Baby Powder, taking out full-page newspaper ads defending its product and practices, and readying its chief executive for his first television interview since investors erased tens of billions of dollars from the company's market value.
