J&J Scores in The First Mesothelioma Trial

Introduction

Although J&J is witnessing a 'win some - lose some' situation in the ovarian cancer lawsuits linked to its Talcum Powder and Shower to Shower talc products, it won the first Mesothelioma case. The decision was taken by a jury in Los Angeles Superior Court rejecting the plaintiff's claim that she developed mesothelioma (a type of cancer of the tissue that lines the lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs) after using J&J's Talcum Powder.
