The Johnson and Johnson Talcum Powder Lawsuit has gone on for several years.
The lawsuits allege that J&J’s talc based baby powder can potentially cause ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and other diseases.
The Talcum Powder Lawsuits have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation.
Johnson and Johnson faces almost 40,000 Talcum Powder Lawsuits pending in the MDL.
If you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma after frequent use of Talcum Powder products, you may be eligible to file a Talc Powder Cancer Lawsuit.

Johnson & Johnson recently offered $8.9 billion to settle the almost 40,000 Talcum Powder Lawsuits, but the settlement offer has not yet been accepted.
Controversy surrounds this settlement offer, and lawyers are working on a solution.
New Talcum Powder Lawsuits are still able to be filed.
If you’ve been impacted by toxic talc powder or talc based baby powder products, contact our Talcum Powder Lawyers and find out if you qualify for legal action.
Talcum Powder Lawsuits could settle for a significant amount of money.
Our Talcum Powder Attorneys estimate that Talcum Powder Lawsuits could settle for anywhere between $100,000 and $1 million.
These estimates are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation for Talcum Powder Lawsuits.
They are only an estimation based on previous settlements for Talcum Powder Claims and the new $8.9 billion Talcum Powder settlement offer announced in April 2023.
The settlement has not yet been agreed to.
In 2020, Johnson and Johnson paid a settlement worth nearly $100 million for 1,000 Talcum Powder Lawsuits.
Also in 2020, 22 women were paid $2.12 billion to settle their Talcum Powder claims.
Those who have developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma from talcum powder use may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma from using Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder, contact our firm and file your Talc Powder Lawsuit.
The talcum powder litigation is currently on hold. It is expected to continue in June 2023 as the Federal Appeals Court determines whether or not to approve Johnson and Johnson’s bankruptcy appeal.
Before that, the company announced its plans to cease the sales of its flagship product, Johnson’s Baby Powder.
The company followed through on the announcement, dropping its sales profits for 2022 and early 2023.
However, that was not the end of the company’s woes.
The Proposed Talcum Powder Settlement and Johnson & Johnson’s Controversial Attempt at Bankruptcy
In 2023, Johnson and Johnson offered a Talcum Powder Settlement amounting to $8.9 billion.
The company stated that the settlement would pay the 40,000 talcum powder plaintiffs who had already filed their talcum powder cancer lawsuits.
The company shifted its talc liabilities to a subsidiary company, LTL Management LLC, which filed for bankruptcy at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to sidestep its litigation liabilities.
However, the company failed at the bankruptcy filing, meaning it was still on the hook to pay present and future talcum powder plaintiffs.
Johnson & Johnson’s Subsidiary Attempted to File for Bankruptcy a Second Time
Federal Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan denied Johnson and Johnson’s filing because it wasn’t the fairest way to resolve the matter.
Meanwhile, Judge Thomas Ambro, another member of the judge panel overseeing the ruling, ruled against J&J’s filing stating that the company wasn’t in “financial distress.”
As the company failed to get the desired result in bankruptcy court, it eventually offered to pay a settlement that was almost quadruple its previous offer.
On April 4, 2023, Johnson and Johnson released a statement, offering to pay $8.9 billion to the plaintiffs who have developed ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and other health conditions from its talcum powder products.
The Texas Two-Step: J&J’s Strategy to Pay Out Talc Lawsuits
Johnson and Johnson’s attempt to file their subsidiary for bankruptcy failed multiple times throughout the talcum powder lawsuits.
The company has done this to shield itself from further financial impact in light of the billions of dollars it may be liable to pay in settlements.
After the bankruptcy court dismissed J&J’s original strategy multiple times, the company created a subsidiary company, LTL Management.
Johnson and Johnson resorted to what’s referred to as the Texas Two-Step.
The Texas Two-Step is a tactic used by financially solvent companies to shift their settlement liabilities to subsidiary companies.
After shifting the settlement liabilities, the company files for bankruptcy through the subsidiary company.
This enables the parent company to reduce the financial impact of multidistrict litigation by paying out plaintiffs using the subsidiary company’s liquidated assets.
In the context of the Talcum Powder Litigation, the subsidiary company is LTL Management.
Johnson and Johnson created the company in 2021 to shield itself from future legal liabilities.
With Johnson and Johnson filing bankruptcy through LTL Management, the company put itself in a better position to dole out settlement payouts.
In short, Johnson and Johnson protects its financial assets and settles the talcum powder case once and for all.
At the moment of writing, the Talc Powder Litigation is paused, but we are still taking on new Talcum Powder Cases.
What Happens if the Bankruptcy Court Approves J&J's Filing?
Judge Kaplan announced that J&J’s bankruptcy court hearing will take place in June 2023.
If the court allows the bankruptcy filing to go forward (which would be largely unexpected), several things will happen.
First, it will enable Johnson and Johnson to shed litigation liabilities from present and future Talcum Powder Lawsuits.
The decision will allow Johnson and Johnson to settle all Talc Lawsuits through its subsidiary.
Second, through LTL Management, plaintiffs diagnosed with ovarian cancer from talcum powder use for years will receive settlements.
More specifically, the Talcum Powder Lawsuit settlements will go to the thousands of plaintiffs over 25 years.
The decision has yet to be made.
For the court to grant Johnson and Johnson approval, the company must have a successful bankruptcy filing and 75% of plaintiffs counsel must agree to accept the settlement offer.
While many talcum powder lawyers and long-time talc plaintiffs view the decision as a potential win, others have different views on the future outcomes arising from the court’s possible decision.
If more women come forward to file their baby powder lawsuits, $8.9 billion may not be sufficient in settling future Talcum Powder claims.
Baby powder lawyers who share this sentiment are adamant about the court rejecting Johnson and Johnson’s attempt at bankruptcy.
For this group of Talc Powder Lawyers, the company knew of its wrongdoing and the risks its talcum powder products posed to the public.
For this reason, many lawyers believe that Johnson and Johnson should face the lawsuits and stay on the hook to settle future talcum powder claims, and not be allowed to sidestep the rules.
Is the Talc Powder Lawsuit Ongoing?
At the time of writing, the Talc Powder Lawsuits are on hold pending the decision of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.
The next critical milestone for the Talcum Powder Lawsuits will be in June when Judge Kaplan and a panel of other judges render a verdict that will determine Johnson and Johnson’s fate.
Nevertheless, we are still accepting Talcum Powder Lawsuits against Johnson and Johnson.
If you have developed ovarian cancer from using the company’s talc-based baby powder, you still may be eligible to join the Talc Litigation.
