$5.5 billion settlement proposed for Johnson & Johnson talc powder claims
After 15 years of what Johnson & Johnson called “meritless” litigation, the publicly traded company committed to a $5.5 billion settlement on Monday with plaintiffs who alleged talc-based products, including the company’s popular baby powder, caused ovarian cancer.
If finalized, the landmark settlement would resolve tens of thousands of remaining cases against the pharmaceutical giant.
Would settle US claims, not UK
The plaintiffs’ law firms confirmed the deal on Monday, saying it was a fair resolution to close over a decade’s worth of legal battles. It would settle about 76,000 claims in the United States in both federal and state courts. To be accepted, 95% of the law firms.
