Johnson & Johnson Talc Lawsuit Settlement | Sacramento News

Johnson & Johnson is offering $5.5 billion to settle tens of thousands of talc-related lawsuits alleging its baby powder caused ovarian cancer, marking a major legal resolution after years of litigation. Though the company has long maintained its products are safe and halted talc sales in the U.S. and Canada in 2020, it’s now seeking closure to refocus on life-saving innovations. Plaintiffs’ lead counsel says the deal delivers overdue justice, while the company acknowledges scientific doubts but prioritizes moving forward. This settlement follows prior asbestos-related settlements and comes as a separate $1 billion UK claim looms. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
