In 2018, Johnson & Johnson was ordered to pay $4.69 billion to 22 women and their families who had claimed that asbestos in the company’s talcum powder products caused them to develop ovarian cancer. Now J&J has finally agreed to pay $8.9 billion to settle tens of thousands of lawsuits. Thousands of Affected Victims Are Rushing to Seek Justice & Compensation.

Studies Indicate Johnson & Johnson Talc Products Contain Asbestos

According to numerous studies conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), talc that contains asbestos has the potential to cause cancer in humans. [1] There are some interesting facts about Johnson & Johnson unraveling.

A study of internal company documents exposed that Johnson & Johnson were aware of the health risks linked with talc. [2] They not only failed to warn their customers that had used the product in the past, they intentionally made a choice not to adjust their ingredients and kept selling a product which was identified by them to be strongly harmful.

Johnson & Johnson has always publicly denied its talcum powder products cause cancer, much like many other companies accused of using asbestos in their products. However, documents unsealed in 2017 revealed J&J company executives were aware of asbestos liabilities as early as the 1970s.

Get the Compensation you Deserve

If you've been diagnosed with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, Peritoneal Cancer or Mesothelioma, and have used baby powder, you may be eligible for significant financial compensation.

According to data:

  • More than 20,000 lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson as of early 2020. [3]
  • In 2020, Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay $100 million to settle more than 1,000 talc-related lawsuits. [4]
  • J&J was ordered to pay a $2.1 billion settlement to one victim. [5]
  • Johnson and Johnson has faced a $4.7 billion verdict in one case. [6]

Over 38,000 cases have been filed against the talcum powder manufacturer. [7] Now juries are holding Johnson & Johnson accountable for cancer caused by asbestos in its products.

“I used J&J baby powder from 1978 to 2004. In 2004 I was rushed to the ER and had to have an emergency hysterectomy due to abnormal (cancerous) cells in my uterus. I was only 34 and wanted more kids. It ruined my life.”
says Jennifer Simmons, one of the victims that were affected.

These talc manufacturers chose to conceal the risks by putting millions of women at risk to increase their profits... And if evidence finds them guilty, they have to pay.
