Baby Powder Cancer Lawsuit
Johnson & Johnson faces numerous lawsuits alleging that their talcum powder products, including baby powder, caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma due to asbestos contamination.
The company has already been ordered to pay billions in damages to plaintiffs, with some verdicts being among the largest ever in product liability cases.
Despite the allegations and lawsuits, J&J maintains that their talc-based products are safe and asbestos-free, but they have discontinued sales of talc-based baby powder in the U.S. and Canada.
There were 259 new cases added to the Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder MDL in the last month.
Our Talcum Powder lawyers are still accepting new clients.

You’ve probably heard about Talcum Powder Lawsuits over the years, but with Johnson & Johnson’s failed attempt to dismiss the cases, a new Talcum Powder settlement is possible.

Our law firm has secured over $4 billion for people harmed at no fault of their own, and we are prepared to help you join the Talcum Powder Litigation.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken a significant step in blocking Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J) attempt to settle thousands of lawsuits related to talcum powder and ovarian cancer.
The DOJ, through its U.S. Trustee program, filed a motion to dismiss the bankruptcy case involving Red River Talc, a J&J subsidiary, this bankruptcy is essential for completing J&J’s proposed $8 billion settlement.
The DOJ’s opposition focuses on the controversial use of the “Texas two-step” bankruptcy strategy, where a company creates a subsidiary to assume its legal liabilities and then files for bankruptcy.
It references both the two previous failed bankruptcies highlighting that it prevents “securing a nonconsensual third-party release that would effectively discharge.”
The DOJ has criticized this tactic as an attempt by J&J to evade responsibility for the health risks tied to its talc-based baby powder, calling it a “bad faith” use of bankruptcy laws.
According to U.S. Trustee Kevin Epstein, Red River Talc has no legitimate need for bankruptcy protection and is only serving as a shield for J&J.
This investigation by the DOJ is important because it challenges the legitimacy of J&J’s bankruptcy strategy and could influence the broader use of such tactics by large corporations seeking to avoid costly litigation.
If successful, the DOJ’s motion could force J&J to face these lawsuits without the protection of bankruptcy, potentially increasing its financial exposure.
The outcome of this legal battle will ultimately be decided by Judge Christopher Lopez, who is overseeing the case. J&J is hopeful that its latest attempt to settle these claims will succeed, especially given that 83% of plaintiffs reportedly support the settlement.
However, with more than 58,000 talcum powder lawsuits pending, the DOJ’s investigation is a key factor that could halt J&J’s efforts and reshape the legal landscape for corporate liability.

On October 17, 2024, a Connecticut jury awarded a man $15 million in a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson.
The plaintiff and his attorney claimed that years of using the company’s talcum and baby powder caused him to develop mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer.
The lawsuit, filed in 2021, argued that the talcum powder he used from the 1950s to 2017 was contaminated with asbestos, which the company knew about but concealed from the public.
Court documents revealed that Johnson & Johnson had access to medical and scientific reports since 1929 indicating the dangers of asbestos in its products.
Despite this, the company continued to market the powder as safe for decades, emphasizing its purity and safety for babies and adults.
This particular case was heavily litigated, with over 600 documents filed.
In the verdict, the jury found the product “defective” and “unreasonably dangerous,” and concluded that Johnson & Johnson had failed to warn consumers of the risks.
The outcome marks another significant development in the broader talcum powder litigation, where numerous plaintiffs have accused the company of hiding the health risks associated with its products.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing.
Johnson & Johnson, a self-described “healthcare” company, has filed for bankruptcy for the third time, this time under the name “Red River Talc” in Texas.
J&J claims that this filing involves different parties and issues, justifying the new petition.
However, critics argue that it’s simply a continuation of the same case, involving the same claimants, attorneys, and central issue – whether J&J is truly in financial distress.
The first legal question to be addressed is whether the bankruptcy case will remain in Texas or be moved to New Jersey, where previous attempts were dismissed.
Judge Lopez is expected to make a ruling in the coming weeks.
Furthermore, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has accused an involved firm of casting false votes against its latest talc bankruptcy settlement plan, claiming the firm submitted votes without the consent of its clients.
J&J filed a motion in New Jersey federal court on September 20, 2024, asking for Beasley Allen’s removal from the plaintiff’s steering committee in the ongoing litigation.
J&J alleges that the firm cast about two dozen votes against the settlement plan for clients who actually supported it, breaching ethical obligations.
The bankruptcy plan, J&J’s third attempt to resolve talc-related claims, aims to establish an $8 billion fund to settle current and future lawsuits alleging that the company’s talc products caused cancer.
Despite receiving 83% approval from claimants, J&J is arguing that the firm’s misconduct undermines its role as a leader in the multidistrict litigation (MDL).
The firm has denied these accusations, stating that the firm is being unfairly targeted by J&J, which they accuse of manipulating the bankruptcy system to avoid accountability.
A court decision on the issue is pending.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing.
Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiary, Red River Talc, has filed for bankruptcy for the third time to push forward a $10 billion settlement to resolve over 62,000 lawsuits alleging the company’s talc products caused cancer.
The proposed settlement, focusing on ovarian and gynecologic cancer claims, has the support of 83% of claimants.
However, some attorneys argue that J&J is using bankruptcy to underpay victims, while others believe the deal offers fair compensation.
J&J has denied the allegations, maintaining that its products are safe.
The company’s strategy, known as the “Texas two-step,” seeks to consolidate claims and protect J&J from future lawsuits.
The settlement would be paid over 25 years, with $1.1 billion recently added to the fund.
The plan still faces legal challenges, including court rulings and proposed federal legislation targeting bankruptcy protections for financially healthy companies.

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has managed to secure an additional $1 billion for its settlement package.
This move is aimed at persuading a prominent plaintiff attorney, representing over 10,000 talcum powder clients, to back the company’s bankruptcy plan.
J&J plans to proceed with its third bankruptcy petition, supposedly having gained the support of more than 75% of the claimants.
While the extra $1 billion may sway some, it does not change the concerns many still hold.
For some, this move only shows that J&J is not in the financial position it claims to be, raising questions about the fairness and necessity of the bankruptcy filing.
If you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma after using Talcum Powder products, you may be eligible to file a Talcum Powder Lawsuit and secure financial compensation for what you’ve gone through.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing
Johnson & Johnson is increasing its proposed settlement for talc-related lawsuits by $1.1 billion, bringing the total to over $9 billion to be paid over 25 years.
The settlement is aimed at resolving tens of thousands of lawsuits claiming that the company’s talc products, including baby powder, caused ovarian and other gynecological cancers.
J&J has reached an agreement with a lawyer representing 12,000 claimants, in addition to prior support from other plaintiffs.
The company is preparing to have a subsidiary declare bankruptcy to finalize the settlement without J&J itself filing for bankruptcy.
While some lawyers oppose the settlement, J&J expects the additional votes will secure enough support for a judge to approve the plan, which needs backing from 75% of the claimants.
The settlement excludes mesothelioma cases related to asbestos-laced talc.

The Talcum Powder lawsuit is ongoing.
In a recent settlement, a South Carolina man was awarded $63 million by a jury after claiming that Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based baby powder caused his terminal cancer.
The plaintiff, who used the product for nearly 50 years as a substitute for deodorant, was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure.
This verdict is part of a larger wave of litigation against the company, with over 57,000 similar cases pending in federal courts.
The plaintiff’s case highlighted Johnson & Johnson’s long-standing denial of the risks associated with its talc products, despite a 2019 recall of 30,000 bottles after the FDA found asbestos in one of them.
The jury awarded the plaintiff $32.6 million in compensatory damages and $30.7 million in punitive damages.
Johnson & Johnson, maintaining that its talc products are safe, plans to appeal the decision and is also seeking a $6.48 billion bankruptcy settlement to resolve all current and future claims.

A new trial involving Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder products is currently underway in South Carolina.
The case alleges that prolonged use of J&J’s baby powder caused a plaintiff to be diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer that develops in the lining of internal organs.
This trial is part of a broader wave of litigation against Johnson & Johnson, which has faced numerous lawsuits alleging that its talcum powder products, including its iconic baby powder, have led to serious health issues, including mesothelioma and ovarian cancer.
Over 57,000 Talcum Powder Lawsuits are currently pending in multidistrict litigation.
The controversy surrounding J&J’s talcum powder products dates back to at least 2018, when a Reuters investigation revealed that the company’s talc had tested positive for asbestos on multiple occasions as early as the 1970s.
In response to growing concerns, Johnson & Johnson recalled 33,000 bottles of baby powder in 2019 and ceased selling talc-based baby powder in North America in 2020.
Recent years have seen significant verdicts against Johnson & Johnson in talcum powder cases.
In June, an Oregon jury awarded $260 million in damages to a woman who developed mesothelioma after years of using the company’s baby powder.
In parallel to the mesothelioma lawsuits, Johnson & Johnson faces thousands of claims alleging that its talcum powder caused ovarian cancer.
In response to these claims, the company proposed a $6.48 billion settlement plan in May 2024, aiming to resolve the ovarian cancer lawsuits.
The company has attempted multiple times to offload its talc liabilities through a bankruptcy scheme known as the “Texas two-step”.
The recent settlement proposal has not been agreed to, and J&J’s attempts to push its subsidiary into bankruptcy in order to settle these cases has been unsuccessful.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing.
A lawsuit against Avon involving exposure to talcum powder has concluded with a $24.4 million verdict, as a jury determined the cosmetics company should have known that its talc-based products are contaminated with asbestos.
This contamination led to a janitor developing mesothelioma.
The janitor, who worked at an Avon manufacturing facility near Chicago in the early 1980s, was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma in 2023.
Evidence presented during the trial showed that his cancer resulted from repeated exposure to asbestos particles in Avon talcum powder.
Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma, a rare cancer affecting the lining of the chest and lungs.
This disease often remains undetected for decades, leading to late-stage diagnoses and limited life expectancy.
During the trial, the plaintiffs’ attorneys argued that Avon was aware of the asbestos contamination in its talcum powder products but failed to protect workers and consumers.
The jury agreed, awarding the plaintiff and his family $24.4 million in damages.
In 2020, Avon was acquired by Natura Cosmetics SA, which subsequently removed talc from all its U.S. products.
Most talcum powder litigation has targeted Johnson & Johnson (J&J), which faces thousands of lawsuits over asbestos-contaminated products, such as Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower talc powder.
These products have been linked to mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, and other health issues.
J&J has denied asbestos contamination for years but recalled its Baby Powder in 2019 after confirming the presence of asbestos fibers.
The company has since switched to marketing cornstarch-based products.
Johnson & Johnson is currently facing around 100,000 talcum powder lawsuits.
Recently, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) confirmed a link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, categorizing it as a probable carcinogen.
J&J’s attempts to manage these lawsuits through bankruptcy maneuvers have been unsuccessful.
The company proposed a $6.5 billion settlement in May to resolve all current and future claims, but many plaintiffs’ lawyers have rejected the offer as insufficient.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing.
The Talcum Powder Lawsuit involves claims against Johnson & Johnson regarding the links between talcum powder products and an increased risk for certain types of cancer.
Plaintiffs allege that these products, particularly baby powder, are linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
In July, there were 57,624 filings in the Talcum Powder lawsuit.
By August, this number increased to 57,782 filings.
The rise in filings reflects ongoing concerns about the potential cancer risks associated with talcum powder and a growing number of individuals seeking legal recourse.
Talcum powder products have been reported to contain asbestos, a known carcinogen.
Prolonged use of these products in the genital area is linked to ovarian cancer, while inhalation may lead to mesothelioma.
These severe health risks have prompted many individuals to file lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing, and our lawyers are accepting new clients who have developed cancer or other related health problems after using talc-based baby powder.
Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has agreed to a $505 million settlement to resolve claims from talc suppliers driven bankrupt by Baby Powder cancer lawsuits.
The settlement involves Imerys Talc and Cyprus Mines Corporation, both of which filed for bankruptcy due to overwhelming litigation costs associated with talcum powder cancer claims.
The settlement includes an initial $225 million payment from J&J and an additional $280 million from insurance policies, creating a trust for personal injury claims against the suppliers.
J&J faces tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging that its talc products, contaminated with asbestos, increased the risk of ovarian cancer and other health issues.
Imerys Talc and Cyprus Mines were implicated in these lawsuits, accused of failing to warn consumers about the cancer risks.
Both companies cited the litigation as the cause of their bankruptcies, which occurred in 2019 and 2021, respectively.
The settlement, filed on July 13 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, requires federal judge approval for fairness.
If approved, the settlement funds will be transferred to a trust by December 31, 2025, benefiting current and future talc claimants.
The company is currently seeking approval for a separate $6.5 billion settlement, involving its subsidiary LTL Management, to address individual talcum powder claims.
This tactic, known as the Texas Two-Step, has faced significant criticism.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that talc in Johnson’s Baby Powder probably increases the risk of ovarian cancer.
The findings by WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) conclude that talc exhibits key carcinogenic characteristics, based on studies in humans and animals.
The IARC’s assessment, published in The Lancet Oncology, provides substantial evidence that talc is a probable cancer-causing agent.
The report highlights consistent findings of increased ovarian cancer incidence among women using talc-based body powder in the genital area.
The IARC has classified talc as “probably carcinogenic” to humans, assigning it a Group 2A classification.
This classification, the second highest certainty level, is supported by strong mechanistic evidence showing talc’s carcinogenic properties in human primary cells and experimental systems.
Recent studies have further supported the IARC’s findings.
The National Institutes of Health warned of a 17% increased risk of ovarian cancer linked to genital talcum powder use. Additionally, a 2019 study found talc in the tissue of nine out of ten ovarian cancer patients who used Johnson & Johnson products.
Another study in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine reported a statistically significant 9% increased risk of ovarian cancer among talcum powder users.
Despite multiple jury verdicts ordering Johnson & Johnson to pay millions in compensation, the company has attempted to resolve the litigation through bankruptcy filings, all of which were rejected by federal judges.
In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson proposed a $6.5 billion settlement to resolve all current and future Baby Powder lawsuits.

The Talcum Powder lawsuit is ongoing.
On July 1st, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by Johnson & Johnson against a scientist who published research linking talcum powder to cancer.
The court ruled that the research, which suggested asbestos-contaminated talcum powder can cause mesothelioma, was not fraudulent or libelous and is protected under free speech rights.
The consumer products company alleged the scientist’s paper was false, claiming the study participants had other sources of asbestos exposure.
The judge found no evidence of fraud and determined that the research presented tentative scientific conclusions, not unequivocal statements of fact.
The company plans to appeal the ruling, maintaining that its talc products are safe and do not cause cancer.
This decision is significant as the company faces over 61,000 lawsuits claiming its talc caused ovarian cancer or mesothelioma.
The ruling highlights the protection of scientific research under free speech rights and will influence ongoing talc litigation.
The lawsuit is part of the company’s broader strategy to challenge research linking its products to cancer while seeking a multibillion-dollar settlement to resolve the lawsuits.
The dismissal emphasizes the need for transparency and rigorous standards in scientific publications, impacting the future of talc-related lawsuits.

The Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder lawsuit involves claims that the company’s Talcum Powder products cause ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
This lawsuit seeks to hold Johnson & Johnson accountable for the severe health risks associated with their talcum powder.
In June, there were 57,365 Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder lawsuit filings.
By July, this number increased to 57,624.
Johnson & Johnson talcum powder contains asbestos, a toxic substance that causes cancer by embedding itself in the ovaries or lungs, leading to the development of ovarian cancer or mesothelioma.
These severe health impacts have led more individuals to join the Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder lawsuit.
The Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder lawsuit aims to hold the company responsible for the harm caused by its products.
Affected individuals should consult a Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder lawyer to explore their legal options.

Johnson & Johnson is facing a new class action lawsuit seeking damages and medical monitoring for women who have been diagnosed with cancer or may develop it in the future, allegedly due to the company’s baby powder and other talc products.
Filed on June 17, 2024 in New Jersey federal court, this case the first to request medical monitoring, or regular testing to detect cancer early, for talc users.
The proposed class could include thousands of women but excludes over 61,000 individuals who have already filed personal injury lawsuits against J&J.
The lawsuit claims that J&J’s talc contains cancer-causing asbestos.
J&J maintains its talc is safe, asbestos-free, and does not cause cancer.
J&J has attempted twice to resolve current and future talc claims through a legal strategy known as a Texas two-step, which involves creating a subsidiary company to absorb talc liabilities and then declaring bankruptcy.
These efforts failed because courts found the new subsidiary lacked the “financial distress” to justify bankruptcy.
Lawyers opposing the bankruptcy proposal argue that it would not adequately compensate their clients.
One of the lawyers bringing the new lawsuit emphasized the need for medical monitoring due to the “inadequate funding” of the bankruptcy plan, which he claims does not realistically address the needs of women who could develop ovarian cancer from past talc use.
The claims that talc cause ovarian and other gynecological cancers form the majority of cases, with a smaller number involving mesothelioma.

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has agreed to a $700 million settlement with 42 U.S. states to resolve allegations of misleading advertising and the safety of its talcum powder products.
This agreement concludes a series of investigations and legal challenges that the company has faced over the potential cancer risks associated with their talcum powder products.
The settlement, led by the attorneys general of Florida, North Carolina, and Texas, addresses claims that J&J misrepresented the safety of its talcum-based products, including baby powder, which have been linked to cancer risks.
The lawsuit alleges that since the 1980s, J&J knew of studies and other supporting information that showed its talcum powders were sometimes tainted with carcinogenic asbestos and that women who used the products on their genitals had an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Research indicates a link between regular and prolonged use of talcum powder on the body and the development of ovarian cancer, and other significant health risks.
Under the terms of the settlement, J&J is prohibited from resuming the manufacture, marketing, sale, or distribution of any talc-containing baby and body powders in the United States.
This decisive action marks a significant shift in the company’s product strategy, reflecting trends toward safer consumer products.
J&J continues to face ongoing lawsuits from consumers related to the development of cancer and other health effects due to long-term use of talcum powder.
The company proposed a $6.475 billion plan to settle ovarian cancer claims over 25 years, but the settlement has not yet been agreed to.

An Oregon jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $260 million in damages to a 49-year-old woman who developed mesothelioma after using Johnson’s Baby Powder for over three decades.
The verdict, delivered in Portland, includes $200 million in punitive damages and $60 million in compensatory damages.
The plaintiff was diagnosed with mesothelioma in August 2023, a cancer that affects the lung lining and is typically linked to asbestos exposure.
Research suggests that ovarian cancer and mesothelioma may be directly attributed to the use of talcum powder contaminated with asbestos.
Despite claims by Johnson & Johnson that their talcum powder does not contain asbestos, evidence presented during the trial suggested otherwise, leading to the substantial jury award.
The ongoing case with Johnson and Johnson disputes over 60,000 talcum powder lawsuits.
According to NBC, J&J has resolved approximately 95% of mesothelioma-related claims and is navigating a $6.5 billion settlement plan to address ovarian cancer claims; the remaining cases continue to pose significant challenges for the company.
Johnson & Johnson’s legal chief has announced plans to appeal the verdict, maintaining that the decisions against the company are often overturned due to lack of scientific basis.
This stance comes amid broader company efforts to shift away from talc-based products in the U.S., transitioning to a cornstarch-based formulation in 2020.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing.
In a development in the ongoing Johnson & Johnson talcum powder litigation, a new class action lawsuit was filed on May 22, 2024, in New Jersey federal court by a group of cancer victims.
The plaintiffs accuse the healthcare giant of fraudulent maneuvers involving the use of a subsidiary’s bankruptcy to shield assets.
This litigation is separate from the ongoing lawsuits concerning injuries and cancer resulting from talcum powder use.
Plaintiffs in this new lawsuit allege that the legal strategy, named the “Texas two-step” is designed to obstruct and delay justice, preventing plaintiffs from having their cases fairly heard.
This approach allowed the company to transfer its talc-related liabilities to a newly formed subsidiary, which afterward filed for bankruptcy in 2021.
The bankruptcy filing has effectively stalled ongoing lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson itself, which has not declared bankruptcy, a controversial strategy that has been sharply criticized by the plaintiffs’ representatives.
Attorneys speaking on behalf of the cancer victims accused Johnson & Johnson of manipulating the financial and judicial systems to evade accountability.
In response, Johnson & Johnson’s Worldwide Vice President of Litigation, Erik Haas, defended the company’s actions.
Haas described the lawsuit as a desperate attempt by plaintiffs’ lawyers to prevent their clients from voting on a proposed bankruptcy settlement, which he claims offers a comprehensive resolution.
The core of the dispute centers on allegations that Johnson & Johnson’s talc products, including its baby powder, contain asbestos and have caused cancers such as ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
Despite these serious claims, Johnson & Johnson maintains that its products are safe, asbestos-free, and not carcinogenic.
The company stopped selling talc-based baby powder in favor of cornstarch-based products, citing an increase in lawsuits and “misinformation” about the talc product’s safety.

Recent research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology has provided substantial evidence that may influence over 50,000 lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson (J&J), concerning its talcum-based baby powder.
The study, conducted by researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggests an association between the frequent and long-term use of talcum powder on the body and the occurrence of ovarian cancer.
This data, derived from the extensive Sister Study, encompasses responses from more than 50,000 U.S. women who are at a potentially increased risk of breast or ovarian cancer.
This emerging evidence challenges J&J’s long standing defense in the ongoing Talcum Powder Lawsuits, particularly as the company has consistently denied any correlation between its talcum products and ovarian cancer, as well as refuting claims regarding asbestos contamination.
Some talc products may also contain phthalates — chemicals that disrupt hormones in the body and have been linked to ovarian cancer.
J&J’s talc-based products were pulled from the North American market in 2020 and globally in 2021, attributing the discontinuation to decreased demand and misinformation about the product’s safety.
A 2018 Reuters investigation suggested that J&J knew some of its baby powder was contaminated with small amounts of asbestos as early as the 1970s.
J&J denies that asbestos was present in its products.
A federal Talcum Powder trial in New Jersey scheduled for December.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys view this study as a pivotal development that substantiates their claims against J&J.
J&J’s representatives maintain their stance, arguing that the study does not prove causality between talc use and ovarian cancer.
J&J proposed a settlement of approximately $6.48 billion this month, aiming to resolve the claims through a bankruptcy court process—a proposal that has seen prior rejections and significant investigation over its implications for claimants.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit continues to progress.
Johnson & Johnson announced a new $6.5 billion settlement proposal on Wednesday to address lawsuits claiming its talcum powder products caused ovarian cancer.
This is the company’s third attempt to resolve these claims through bankruptcy proceedings, after previous efforts in 2021 and 2023 were rejected because bankruptcy court was deemed inappropriate.
The proposed settlement involves a three-month voting period for claimants.
If 75 percent agree, Johnson & Johnson will file for a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy through its Texas-based unit, LLT Management.
Texas courts are noted for their lenient bankruptcy filing standards.
This strategy uses Chapter 11 to force agreement from dissenting and future claimants, a powerful aspect of bankruptcy law that has been controversial in the past.
Previous rejections were based on the court’s finding that Johnson & Johnson did not meet the financial distress criteria required for bankruptcy protection.
Experts predict this new attempt might face similar legal challenges.
Johnson & Johnson has always denied that its talcum powders contain asbestos or cause cancer yet has discontinued selling these products globally.

Johnson & Johnson and its former consumer healthcare division, Kenvue, have been ordered to pay $45 million in damages by an Illinois court.
The lawsuit was filed by the family of a woman who passed away in July 2020 from mesothelioma, a cancer often associated with asbestos exposure.
The family claimed that Garcia’s frequent use of the companies’ talcum-based baby powder contributed to her diagnosis.
During the trial, the evidence presented suggested the presence of asbestos fibers in the baby powder, with expert testimony linking daily inhalation over her lifetime to the development of mesothelioma.
The jury attributed 70% of the liability to Kenvue, which became an independent entity in August 2023, and the remaining 30% to Johnson & Johnson.
Johnson & Johnson plans to appeal the decision, maintaining that independent scientific studies have maintained the safety of talc, its absence of asbestos, and its non-carcinogenic makeup.
This legal defeat comes from a broader backdrop of challenges for Johnson & Johnson concerning its talcum powder products.
Despite winning a similar case in Florida where the jury ruled its baby powder did not cause ovarian cancer in another victim, the company still faces over 50,000 lawsuits related to its talcum products.
Johnson & Johnson has attempted multiple bankruptcy filings aimed at managing the lawsuits and a proposed $8.9 billion settlement to resolve these claims, which was rejected by a judge.

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is reportedly in tentative agreement to pay around $700 million to settle an investigation involving more than 40 U.S. states.
These states have been examining claims that J&J wrongly marketed its talc-based baby powder without adequately warning about potential health risks.
The settlement aims to prevent potential lawsuits alleging that J&J concealed any connections between talc in its powder and various forms of cancer.
While the specific terms of the settlement are still being negotiated, an approximate total amount has been agreed upon.
This move is part of J&J’s strategy to address numerous lawsuits accusing the company of concealing health risks associated with its baby powder.
Previously, J&J attempted to use bankruptcy courts to impose a settlement on former users but failed.
The company had initially offered to settle all current and future baby powder claims for $9 billion during the bankruptcy filing of one of its units.
While some progress has been made towards settlement, the investigation and settlement talks are still ongoing, with various state attorneys general involved in the process.

A lawyer attempting to mediate a settlement in the Johnson & Johnson baby powder cancer lawsuits has proposed resolving the ongoing litigation and any future cases for $19 billion, which is $10 billion more than the amount the company offered in previous bankruptcy court attempts.
The proposal comes from James Conlan, a former J&J defense lawyer now working on helping corporations manage mass personal injury litigation.
Despite Conlan’s offer, J&J rejected it and insisted on pursuing a third Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing for one of its units, despite previous court rulings that the company was not in sufficient financial distress for this approach.
This proposal, supported by law firms representing plaintiffs in the talcum powder lawsuits, is the first public statement on how much J&J should pay to resolve over 50,000 cases that have negatively impacted the company’s stock price.
J&J maintains that its talc-based products do not cause cancer and has been transitioning to cornstarch-based products since 2020.
The $19 billion settlement, if accepted, could potentially provide an average payout of over $200,000 for each talc claimant, depending on qualification criteria and settlement terms.
Conlan’s company, Legacy Liability Solutions, would purchase J&J units handling the talc cases and distribute the funds among claimants based on the severity of their injuries.
J&J disagrees with the proposal and believes that the bankruptcy process is the fairest and most efficient way to resolve the cases.
The company has settled some talc-cancer cases to alleviate objections to another bankruptcy filing.
They are also seeking to remove a consumer lawyer from the plaintiffs’ leadership group in the litigation, alleging that his association with Conlan has granted him access to confidential J&J information.
The lawyer involved, Andy Birchfield, disputes J&J’s claims and accuses the company of trying to intimidate opponents and reduce settlement amounts.
He considers J&J’s $8.9 billion offer insufficient and denies receiving any confidential information from Conlan.
Conlan and his company, Legacy, assert that they have not shared any confidential J&J information with plaintiffs’ lawyers involved in the cases.

Los Angeles County in California has filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, alleging that the company’s talc Baby Powder product is linked to mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer associated with asbestos exposure.
The lawsuit claims that Johnson & Johnson knew of the potential health risks but continued to market and sell talc-containing products, contributing to public health impacts, including cancer and severe illness.
This is not the first time Johnson & Johnson has faced legal action related to asbestos in its products, with previous cases and accusations of targeting minority groups in marketing.
The company had announced discontinuation of talc-based baby powder production but is still accused of selling it online.
Johnson & Johnson’s attempts to avoid liability through a legal tactic called the “Texas Two-Step” have been blocked by a judge in previous cases.

Johnson & Johnson is said to be attempting to file bankruptcy for its subsidiary, LTL Management, for a third time to avoid liability in the Talcum Powder Lawsuit.
J&J’s attempts to force its subsidiary into bankruptcy stalled the Talcum Powder Lawsuit for quite some time
After their second attempt at bankruptcy was rejected by the courts earlier this year, the Talcum Powder litigation was reopened and thousands of lawsuits were added to the MDL.
The courts have rejected J&J’s attempt to file for bankruptcy twice before this one, and both times the judge’s reasoning surrounded the company not being in clear financial distress.
There are currently 51,000 lawsuits against J&J claiming talc used in baby powder and similar products caused cancer, and the litigation is in pre-trial information collection stages.

A New Jersey court has nullified a $224 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson in a talcum powder lawsuit brought by four individuals who claimed they developed cancer from the company’s products.
The appeals court ruled that expert testimony used in the lower court was flawed and ordered a new trial.
This ruling does not impact other Talcum Powder Lawsuits filed by individuals suffering from ovarian cancer.
Johnson & Johnson was initially directed to pay $37.3 million to the plaintiffs in 2019, along with $186.5 million in punitive damages.
The company had contested the decision, arguing that the experts’ testimony was unreliable.
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against J&J alleging talcum powder caused cancer, but the company asserts its product is safe.

Judge Shipp has sanctioned multiple days to conduct pretrial proceedings, with one of these sanctioned days allowing for both sides to present what they believe is relevant scientific evidence.
These presentations will not be considered in trial, and instead will simply be used to expand Judge Shipp’s knowledge of the case so he can make appropriate rulings in the future.

In regards to the increasing usage of the Texas-Two step bankruptcy maneuver by large corporations to get out of the lawsuits, Congress is holding hearings with the intent to possibly pass legislation limiting the use of the strategy.
To carry out the Texas Two-Step method, a company creates a new legal entity and relocates all of its tort-related obligations to that entity.
The catch is only a small portion of the parent company’s assets are transferred to that new entity, and the new shell company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
This procedure stirs controversy as it enables companies to evade their legal accountabilities.
The Senate Judiciary Committee brought forth Erik Haas, the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, and berated him for the company’s incorrect use of the Texas-Two step method.
Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) stated that Title 11 Bankruptcy was created to help a company restart fresh and avoid crushing debt.
In the case of Johnson & Johnson, Durbin said the company faced no crushing debt and instead was operating smoothly and making profits.
He argued J&J abused this bill to increase its power.
Dr. Jacqueline Moline, a medical researcher who has testified in numerous cases alleging that Johnson & Johnson talc products cause cancer, is seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by J&J against her.
J&J’s lawsuit claims that her 2019 study linking cosmetic talc products to cancer was fraudulent and harmed the company’s reputation.
Dr. Moline argues that her research is sound and protected by free speech rights under the First Amendment.
J&J’s subsidiary, LTL Management, sued Dr. Moline and three other researchers, accusing them of publishing fraudulent research.
J&J claims that Dr. Moline’s study had flaws and that some study participants had additional asbestos exposure not related to talc products.
Dr. Moline defends her study, stating that it properly disclosed patient information and a potential conflict of interest.
J&J has tried to resolve the talc litigation by putting LTL Management in bankruptcy and offering a settlement of $8.9 billion to end all talc-related lawsuits.
However, court rulings have hindered this process, and J&J is appealing those decisions.
Due to the dismissal of LTL’s bankruptcy, these lawsuits can now resume, and J&J has stopped selling talc-based Baby Powder in response to the legal challenges and public perception issues surrounding its talc products.

After having its second bankruptcy filing dismissed, Johnson & Johnson is being accused of trying to delay the Talcum Powder litigation even more as it attempts to challenge an expert testimony approved over two years ago.
Despite the efforts of J&J to stay the trial once again, Judge Shipp, who is presiding over the litigation, is determined to speed up trial processes and has recently issued court orders to increase efficiency and extend representation.
In one order, Judge Shiff required all attorneys who represent plaintiffs who died during the stay period to serve a motion to substitute a proper party or notify the court why a proper party substitute is not to be selected.
This must be done within 180 days.
In another order, Judge Shiff created a process for filing Plaintiff Profile Forms (PPFs).
PPFs allow for plaintiffs to consolidate important information and medical records, essentially making key case information easily accessible by the courts.
A bankruptcy judge in New Jersey officially dismissed 3M’s second attempt at filing for bankruptcy with the Texas-two step strategy.
This means that the stay on the MDL, which temporarily halted all of the litigation’s proceedings, has been lifted, allowing for pretrial processes to resume.
Now that the litigation can move forward, it is expected that there will be an increase in filings for the Talcum lawsuit.

Johnson & Johnson’s attempt to push its subsidiary (LTL Management LLC) into bankruptcy in order to resolve the Talcum Powder Lawsuits has been struck down by US Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan.
This is J&J’s second attempt at resolving the Talcum Powder Litigation through bankruptcy, and they plan to appeal this decision again.
In a similar effort to deflect some of the liabilities from the lawsuit, Georgia-Pacific (another defendant in the Talcum Powder Lawsuit) completed a maneuver known as the Texas two-step, which involves splitting a company into two, diverting all of the legal liability into the new entity, and putting that entity into bankruptcy.
By filing for bankruptcy, all lawsuits against a company are halted, preventing harmed individuals from receiving proper compensation.
This attempt was approved by a 3-judge panel on June 20th.
Since this strategic maneuver was approved by an initial judicial panel, more than 20 states and Washington, D.C. have joined an amicus brief urging the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn this decision.
Their reasoning is that this maneuver exploits bankruptcy laws and allows Georgia-Pacific to continue operating without facing any liability for the damage they caused, setting a precedent for other companies facing mass tort lawsuits to manipulate bankruptcy laws to evade tort claims.
Judges across the country seem to have different opinions of the Texas-two step:

A California jury awarded Emory Hernandez Valadez $18.8 million after he claimed that Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J) baby powder caused him to develop mesothelioma, a deadly cancer.
This verdict is significant as J&J is facing multiple similar cases related to its talcum-based products in bankruptcy court in the US.
Hernandez filed a lawsuit against J&J in California state court seeking compensation for medical expenses and suffering due to cancer, alleging that prolonged use of J&J’s talc led to mesothelioma.
This trial was the first talc-related case J&J faced in nearly two years.
Many plaintiffs have sued J&J, alleging that talc products caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma due to asbestos contamination.
J&J’s subsidiary, LTL Management, filed for bankruptcy and proposed a $8.9 billion settlement for over 38,000 lawsuits to prevent new cases from arising.
Hernandez’s trial was allowed to proceed due to his limited life expectancy from the rare form of mesothelioma he suffers from, while most other litigation is halted during bankruptcy proceedings.

During a trial involving a plaintiff who claims that Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder caused their cancer, Dr. Ed Kuffner, the Chief Medical Officer of the company, testified about the recall of their talc products.
The plaintiff in this case, Emory Hernandez, was diagnosed with malignant pericardial mesothelioma, a disease linked to asbestos contamination.
While most talc cases are on hold due to J&J’s subsidiary’s bankruptcy, Hernandez’s case is proceeding because of their terminal condition.
Dr. Kuffner provided insights into J&J’s response to the FDA’s report.
The FDA suggested a recall during an initial call, but J&J implemented it two days later.
The company’s official announcement cited caution as the reason for the recall.
However, Dr. Kuffner carefully avoided confirming the validity of the FDA’s testing or the recall itself.
When asked about the FDA’s findings, he used rhetoric to imply uncertainty.
He also admitted that J&J did not test any of the 38,000 recalled bottles of talcum powder.

As the $8.9 billion talc settlement receives backlash from the plaintiffs, it is set to face its second bankruptcy test later this week.
The bankruptcy test will determine if the J&J subsidiary company is in sufficient financial distress to file for bankruptcy, which would resolve much of J&J’s financial issues related to the lawsuit.
J&J’s subsidiary company, LTL Management, initially filed for bankruptcy in April 2023, but this was dismissed after a U.S. Appeals Court ruled the company was not struggling enough to declare bankruptcy.
This second attempt at filing for bankruptcy will be approved or denied this week.
Amid this waiting period, both the plaintiffs and the U.S. Justice Department’s bankruptcy watchdog have called for its dismissal, saying LTL’s bankruptcy filing is an abuse of U.S. bankruptcy law.
U.S. bankruptcy law can shield debtors from lawsuits, halting cases against them and giving them time to reorganize in bankruptcy.
However, bankruptcy judges do not always extend those protections to the subsidiaries’ parent companies.

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is facing its first trial in nearly two years over claims that asbestos in its baby powder and talc products causes cancer.
The plaintiff, a 24-year-old with mesothelioma, alleges that his cancer was caused by exposure to J&J’s talc products since childhood.
J&J denies that its talc contains asbestos or causes cancer.
J&J has filed for bankruptcy and proposed a $8.9 billion settlement to resolve over 38,000 lawsuits.
The trial’s outcome may impact other plaintiffs’ decisions to join the settlement.
J&J and its subsidiary argue that bankruptcy provides a more fair and efficient way to handle settlements.
The company has faced talc-related verdicts, settlements, and legal fees totaling around $4.5 billion.

Johnson & Johnson’s insolvent talc division defended its second Chapter 11 filing against challenges from individuals claiming injury from talc.
In a response submitted to a New Jersey bankruptcy court, the subsidiary in question argued that the present case was different from the previous filing and highlighted the company’s commitment of $8.9 billion from J&J, the largest ever settlement in a mass tort bankruptcy case.
The subsidiary seemed to imply that the magnitude of the settlement alone should be considered evidence of fairness.
J&J emphasized that this current commitment was unprecedented, exceeding the amount pledged in the initial case by more than fourfold, insinuating that this should be seen as an indicator of fairness.
Furthermore, J&J portrayed that it had garnered support from numerous law firms representing over 60,000 claimants, suggesting that the opposing plaintiffs were in the minority.
However, these assertions are unlikely to be substantiated by the facts.

The Talcum Powder Lawsuit is ongoing, and our Talcum Powder Lawyers are speaking to potential clients about their eligibility.
There have been multiple developments in the Talc Powder Lawsuit this month.
While the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary’s bankruptcy filing halted most of the Talcum Baby Powder lawsuits, one case remains active and is set to go to court.
Jury selection for this case started on May 22nd in California, and it marks the first trial related to Johnson & Johnson Talcum Baby Powder since the subsidiary company filed bankruptcy in 2021.
The lawsuit claims Johnson & Johnson Talcum Baby Powder contained asbestos that caused a 24 year-old man to develop mesothelioma, a type of malignant cancer that grows in lung, chest, and abdominal tissues.
The case also involves six retailers who sold the baby powder in their stores.
This specific case was approved to go to trial despite the bankruptcy filing because the plaintiff has a severe malignant tumor, and there are fears he will die before a settlement is reached.
Cases with similar circumstances have the potential to be approved for an expedited trial as well.
In regard to the bankruptcy case involving LTL Management LLC, the subsidiary of J&J that is being used to shed Talc liabilities, a dispute has risen.
The issue revolves around the suggested selection of Randi Ellis, a prominent figure in mass tort multidistrict litigations (MDLs), to serve as a future claims representative.
Ellis previously held this position in the first bankruptcy case, but plaintiffs’ lawyers are now raising objections to her reappointment due to a significant conflict of interest.
It has come to light that Ms. Ellis was involved with the legal team employed by J&J in formulating the second bankruptcy and reorganization plan.

The discussions over Johnson & Johnson’s $8.9 billion settlement offer are ongoing.
A 75% majority of plaintiffs lawyers are needed in order to agree to and accept the settlement, which would signal the end of the Talcum Powder Litigation.
There are arguments for and against accepting the settlement, and whether to let LTL Management go through with bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Judge Kaplan has scheduled a June hearing to make a final decision on the J&J subsidiary’s bankruptcy.
If allowed to go forward with the bankruptcy and 75% of plaintiffs lawyers agree to the settlement offer, a Talc Trust would be created that is funded by $12.08 billion over 25 years.
As of now, the Talc Litigation is paused but new Talcum Powder Lawsuits are able to be filed.

While there has been a $9 billion settlement offer made by J&J, this effort to resolve the Talcum Powder Lawsuit claims has been shrouded in controversy.
In order to reduce the financial impact of the Talcum Powder Lawsuit, Johnson & Johnson shifted its talc liabilities onto a subsidiary company called LTL Management LLC.
This subsidiary company has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
In bankruptcy court, the judge ruled that Johnson & Johnson must face the Talcum Powder Lawsuits, but J&J is making another push to shed litigation liabilities to its subsidiary company.
Trials have been paused for the time being, but new Talcum Powder cases are able to be filed and consolidated into the Talcum Powder MDL.
Plaintiffs lawyers are working out whether to agree to the settlement and bankruptcy claim.
A majority of the plaintiffs counsel is needed to approve of the bankruptcy strategy to accept the settlement offer and the strategy J&J has chosen.
If J&J is allowed to file bankruptcy and it is approved by a majority of plaintiffs counsel, it will signal the end of the litigation and no more talc lawsuits will be able be filed.

Talcum powder is made from talc, a naturally occurring mineral composed of magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
Talc is used in several cosmetics and baby powder.
Links have been made between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, which has led to thousands of talcum powder lawsuit cases.
Talcum powder particles are so small and lightweight that many people inhale the powder unknowingly.
Talc particles can get stuck in the body, damaging the lungs and other organs over time.
Lawyers and medical professionals are currently investigating talcum powder for causing ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
If you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma and used a talc product, you may be eligible to file a talcum powder lawsuit.

People have used talcum powder around the world for centuries. It is not exclusive to any industry or brand, but is used in cosmetics, baby powder, and several other consumer products.
Talcum powder is most suitable as a drying agent, and some users even treat it as an offhand tool by washing their hair with it or keeping surfaces dry.
Talcum powder is used most often in the following products:
Johnson & Johnson have announced that they will stop selling talc based baby powder globally in 2023.
Talcum powder has been a main ingredient to baby powder for decades up until the recent medical, scientific and legal scrutiny of late.
In fact, the physical properties of talcum powder make it an alternative to brand name baby powder on its own.
The well-known talc based baby powder is made by Johnson & Johnson, a product they’ve sold for over 100 years.
Controversy has surrounded Johnson & Johnson baby powder after thousands of its users have claimed that the powder caused them to develop adverse health effects such as ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
Researchers believe these injuries to be caused by the talcum powder.
Talc companies will market the mineral as “pure” or “organic” but fail to ensure the quality of their product.
As a result, some talcum powder contains harmful impurities, namely asbestos, a known carcinogen. Inhalation of asbestos can damage the lungs over time and lead to fatal complications.
If you’ve noticed a change in your respiratory health after using baby powder, call a talcum powder lawyer as soon as possible.
Talcum Powder and Talc Particles increase the risk of ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious health problems.
Those who are using talcum powder products as a genital powder have an increased risk to experience several serious health problems.
Talcum powder particles are so small and mobile that they can enter the body without the person knowing.
The particles are not easily filtered, thus disrupting the body’s natural processes and damaging internal organs.
Health problems related to Talcum Powder use include:
The side effects of talcum powder include:
Most side effects are more common in infants than in adults.
While some of these symptoms appear to be mild, they may be indicative of a more serious illness, especially respiratory symptoms.
If you start to experience side effects, it’s recommended you avoid talcum powder, contact a doctor and a talcum powder lawyer.
Ovarian cancer is rare but has been linked to using talcum powder products on or near the vagina.
Epithelial ovarian cancer, the most common type of ovarian cancer, has been diagnosed in several women who have used Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder products.
Studies suggest that women who use baby powder in this way have a 30% increased risk of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Similar to the respiration problems caused by talcum powder, the particles stay trapped in the ovaries and damage the cells until cancer forms.
Ovarian cancer symptoms include:
The risk of developing ovarian cancer increases with age.
If you’re currently using baby powder or another talc product in the genital area, consider the risks before continuing.
Genital powder use has been specifically linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Talcum Powder Ovarian Cancer Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using talcum powder.

As early as the 1970s, scientists began looking at the connection between the dusting of female genitals with talcum powder and ovarian cancer.
Based on the marketing of these products for use on babies and as a feminine ritual, most people assume that such a common household item is safe to use.
It is imperative that women are warned about the risk of using talcum powder in their daily feminine hygiene routine.
Increasing evidence suggests that this staple of bathrooms and nurseries for generations may be linked to ovarian cancer.
A recent study shows that women who commonly apply talc products to the genital area have a 33% increased chance of developing cancer.
Mesothelioma is a lung condition caused by inhaling asbestos and asbestos fibers.
The main characteristic of mesothelioma is fluid buildup on the lining of the lungs.
Asbestos is used in some insulations, floor tiles, and old machinery.
Sometimes, however, talcum powder contains small amounts of asbestos that may be overlooked by manufacturers.
Baby powder labels omit any warnings that the product may contain asbestos.
Mesothelioma symptoms include:
It’s common for these symptoms not to appear for decades.
Your doctor can perform x-rays, blood tests, and biopsies to test for mesothelioma.
While the connection between asbestos and mesothelioma is well-established, the controversy regarding mesothelioma and talcum powder focuses on which brands have a defective product.
If a specific brand of talcum powder has caused you or someone you know to be injured, contact a talcum powder lawyer as soon as possible.
If you habitually used talcum powder and subsequently developed mesothelioma, you may want to contact a mesothelioma lawyer to discuss the possibility of filing a Baby Powder mesothelioma lawsuit.
