Imerys Agrees To Settle Asbestos-related Mesothelioma Case

Introduction

Johnson & Johnson’s Talcum powder supplier Imerys Talc America has agreed to settle the claims made by a plaintiff that years of using their asbestos-contaminated Baby Powder caused her mesothelioma. Imerys has confessed to the allegation that it knowingly sold the adulterated product to the public. During the closing arguments on September 13, the plaintiff’s attorney asked the California jury for $29 million in damages for the alleged lung cancer. The woman states she used the baby powder for nearly 40 years, and like millions of other individuals, she blames the company for falsely marketing the product as safe to use.

Many women have also filed lawsuits over asbestos-in-talc causing ovarian cancer when used for personal hygiene purposes. J&J faces more than 10,000 claims over these allegations, the trials for which are underway in several state courts this month.
