Plaintiff Withdraws Asbestos-In-Talc Claims On Trial Eve

Introduction

A plaintiff, who sued Johnson & Johnson for his alleged mesothelioma from asbestos exposure, agreed to dismiss his claims on the eve of a South Carolina trial for the talcum lawsuit. In his lawsuit, the plaintiff blamed that asbestos presence in J&J's and Colgate-Palmolive's talcum powder products caused his fatal cancer. Additionally, he also stated he came in contact with asbestos at the workplace while working with industrial products.

J&J will face trial proceedings this month in Los Angeles Superior Court and Middlesex County Superior Court for allegations over its talcum powder causing ovarian cancer when used for personal hygiene. Asbestos exposure in manufacturing plants and mines has caused hazardous side-effects to several workers. Lawsuits filed against various industries claim the owners of not adequately warning about the risks of asbestos exposure to the workers.
