J&J Offers $5.5B to Settle Talc Lawsuits | Belfast News

from Belfast News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Johnson & Johnson is offering $5.5 billion to settle roughly 76,000 remaining talc-related lawsuits claiming their baby powder caused ovarian cancer, signaling a major legal closing for the company after years of litigation. Despite asserting their products are safe and having discontinued talc powder sales in the U.S. and Canada in 2020, the settlement lets them refocus on healthcare innovation. A separate UK lawsuit involving 3,000 claimants could fetch over £1 billion, adding global pressure as the company seeks to finally put this chapter to rest.
