Talcum Powder Lawsuit Remanded Back To State Court

Talcum Powder Lawsuit Remanded Back To State Court

Introduction

The Missouri Court remanded a Talcum Powder lawsuit filed by 22 plaintiffs back to the state court after the federal court found that removal was not timely. This decision was taken by the trial court based on the evidence provided by the plaintiff to show that J&J had used a Missouri-based company to manufacture, mislabel and package its talcum powder products. The lawsuit is now awaiting its June 4, 2018, trial.

A U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Bristol-Myers Squibb v. Superior Court of California, which stipulated that plaintiffs may only file suit in jurisdictions where defendants are headquartered or where their injuries are alleged to have occurred, has impacted the fate of many lawsuits.
