NY. Court Denies Colgate-Palmolive’s Summary Judgment Motion

Introduction

In an order issued on August 27, 2018, the New York Supreme Court for New York County rejected a summary judgment motion filed by Colgate-Palmolive over a talcum powder case. The court found that the defendants failed to prove that their talcum products are free from asbestos fibers.

Asbestos exposure has allegedly caused mesothelioma in several individuals who used talc-based products or came in contact with asbestos particles while working at construction sites, mining companies and Navy bases. In a recent verdict, a Missouri judge awarded $ 4.7 Billion to 22 women who were diagnosed with ovarian cancer due to prolonged use of J&J's asbestos-laden talcum powder for personal hygiene.
