Reach out to us for more information on the Talc Powder Lawsuit and learn about how we can help you.
Many people have developed ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and other disorders after frequently using talc baby powder products that have asbestos contamination.
If you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, or other diseases and you think that using talc powder is the cause, then you may have a case.
Before diving into the best practices for finding and hiring an experienced Talcum Powder Lawyer, let us first provide context about the J&J Talcum Powder Lawsuits.
Talcum powder has long been used in various cosmetic and personal care products.
The substance’s most popular use is as baby powder, but many people continue using it well into adulthood.
Many women have used talcum powder to absorb moisture and prevent odors in body parts like the genital area.
Unfortunately, asbestos contamination in talcum powder products may increase the risk of ovarian cancer or mesothelioma.
Frequent users of talcum powder who’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or mesothelioma have filed lawsuits against J&J.
These lawsuits resulted in a proposed $8.9 billion settlement offered by Johnson & Johnson.
Shrouded by a controversial legal strategy to reduce the impact of the baby powder lawsuits on their business, J&J’s settlement offer has not been accepted yet.
1999: The First Lawsuits Filed for Johnson & Johnson’s Talcum Powder Products
Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder may not be as safe as initially thought.
Since 1999, there have been lawsuits claiming that the baby powder products were causing ovarian cancer or mesothelioma.
By itself, talcum powder isn’t carcinogenic.
However, the source of talc products can potentially be contaminated by asbestos, a known carcinogen and naturally occurring mineral found along with talc.
Even before it was proven that J&J knew about the issue with their talcum powder products, they were already paying settlements.
2018: The First Talcum Powder Lawsuit Settlements
In 2018, the first time successful talcum powder lawsuit against J&J received $117 million in compensation.
At the end of 2018, Reuters published a report showing that J&J was aware of the possible asbestos contamination since at least 1970.
This prompted government-backed testing that provided concrete proof of the asbestos claims.
Since then, the company has started pulling out its talc-based powder products and paying settlements to several plaintiffs.
For many of these people, talcum powder use was a regular part of their lives.
Many have been using the products for 30 years or more.
This practice resulted in talc particles contaminated with asbestos entering the body and increasing the risk of ovarian cancer or mesothelioma, as well as other potential cancer diagnosis.
2023: An Update on the Talcum Powder Sales and Marketing Litigation
The Talcum Powder Products Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation (MDL 2738) is a mass tort litigation centralized in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The Talcum Powder Lawsuits are not consolidated in a class action lawsuit, rather they are consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
MDL is a special federal legal procedure designed to speed the process of handling complex litigations by consolidating cases and addressing all pretrial procedures in one court.
When a large number of people who have all been affected by the same thing file individual lawsuits, the federal court system allows for the consolidation of these cases into an MDL to make them easier to manage.
MDLs take cases from multiple federal districts (each state has at least one district), and puts them into one district court.
This single district court, and one judge, then address all the discovery and pretrial procedures that apply to every case – cutting the costs and amount of resources needed, and keeping court rulings consistent with similar cases.
A key difference between multidistrict litigation (MDL) and class action lawsuits is that settlements in MDLs are distributed amongst claimants according to the facts of their case.
In class action lawsuits, the total settlement is distributed evenly amongst all claimants, regardless of the individual facts of their case.
J&J’s Talcum Powder Settlement Offer
Johnson & Johnson recently offered $8.9 billion to settle nearly 40,000 lawsuits filed for talc based baby powders.
This settlement offer has not been accepted yet.
Many lawyers are arguing that the settlement does not adequately cover the breadth of the talc powder lawsuits and that J&J’s controversial legal strategy to offload their talc liabilities onto a subsidiary company is wrong.
Other lawyers are arguing that people effected by the toxic nature of talc based products have waited far too long for a settlement deal and they urgently need compensation to cover medical bills and other expenses related to talcum powder exposure.
New Lawsuits for Talc Powder Products Can Still Be Filed
J&J must be held liable for these issues.
As an established talcum powder manufacturer, they should have followed the highest standards when producing and distributing body powders.
However, the company knowingly sold products with asbestos contamination, resulting in many people developing ovarian cancer and other health problems.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a health issue that most likely came from talc-based baby powder and similar products, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against J&J and secure compensation.
