Mistrial Announced For J&J's Talcum-Asbestos Case

Introduction

The California Superior Court for Los Angeles declared a mistrial in the latest talcum powder asbestos case filed against Johnson & Johnson, as the court states the jurors are deadlocked due to the fundamental disagreement between both the parties.

The announcement was made for the trial which began on August 20 followed by closing arguments from September 13 until September 17. Jurors were handed over the case one day later and they indicated a deadlock situation after entering their fifth day of deliberations.

Several talcum powder lawsuits are underway in state courts across the nation. All with the similar allegation that the asbestos-exposure from talcum use causes mesothelioma and ovarian cancer. The talcum powder 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.
