A 2015 Dismissed Mesothelioma Case Reopens
Introduction
A decision to reopen a mesothelioma case, dismissed in 2015, was taken by the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey based on the discovery of a pre-1980 sample of Scotts Turf Builder, allegedly identified as the source of the asbestos exposure which was in the possession of Scotts Company since 1979.
The case was dismissed due to the lack of any potential pre-1980 sample of the Turf Builder. The alleged exposure to the asbestos-containing vermiculite that was used as a filler in the fertilizer used by the plaintiff (now deceased and represented by his wife) on a regular basis from 1967 to 1980.
In addition to the Talcum Powder linked ovarian cancer lawsuits, Johnson & Johnson is now facing Mesothelioma lawsuits along with Imerys Talc America and Cyprus Amax Minerals Co.
