The litigation ball has begun rolling against the Johnson & Johnson company for their cancer-causing use of talcum powder. Having lost their second case in talcum powder-related litigation, this is surely a sign of what is to come for the company. We can expect to see many more payouts from the corporate giant as it faces nearly 1,200 other similar cases.
The journey began earlier this year when Johnson & Johnson lost their first case against an Alabama woman who claimed that her daily use of talc-containing, J&J product “Shower to Shower” had caused her ovarian cancer. The family of victim Jacqueline Fox was awarded a hefty $72 million verdict against J&J. Unfortunately, the cancer killed Fox before justice could be served.
Though Johnson & Johnson declared that they intended to appeal the ruling, the strong case opened the door to the thousands of others.
This week, another verdict rang out against Johnson & Johnson to the tune of $55 million. Gloria Ristesund claimed that her multi-decade use of J&J products containing talc had caused her ovarian cancer, forcing her to undergo a hysterectomy and other related surgeries. Thankfully, her cancer is now in remission.
