New Jersey Jury Rejects Claim J&J Baby Powder Caused Woman’s Cancer
Johnson & Johnson | October 12, 2018
A New Jersey jury on Thursday cleared Johnson & Johnson of liability in a case involving a woman who alleged that the company’s talc-based products, including its baby powder, contain asbestos and caused her cancer. After less than a day of deliberations, the jury in New Brunswick, New Jersey rejected claims by Rosalind Henry and her husband, who had alleged that Henry’s mesothelioma, cancer associated with asbestos exposure, was caused by the company’s talc products.
