J&J Must Face California Talcum Powder Warning Lawsuit

Introduction

In an order issued on September 18, U.S. District Judge George Wu dismissed Johnson & Johnson's plea to toss a lawsuit brought by seven women in the ongoing legal battle over asbestos contaminated talcum products. The California judge asserted J&J must face suit over the violation of state warning label and false advertising laws. The judge stated the talcum giant was "simply demanding more" detail than was necessary for a complaint.

Several asbestos-in-talc lawsuits are underway in various U.S state courts for bellwether trial, over ovarian cancer and mesothelioma risk in individuals who used J&J's talcum product. The multidistrict litigation (MDL 2738; In Re: Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder Products Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation) is presided over by Hon. Freda L. Wolfson, U.S.D.J./ Hon. Lois H. Goodman for coordinated pretrial proceedings in the District of New Jersey.
