Johnson & Johnson must pay $29 million to Teresa Leavitt, a dying California woman who blamed asbestos-tainted talc for causing her cancer, jurors found.
Johnson & Johnson still faces more than 13,000 lawsuits claiming its 135-year-old baby powder line caused mesothelioma and ovarian cancer.
Johnson & Johnson must pay $29 million to a dying California woman who blamed asbestos-tainted talc for causing her cancer, the company’s latest loss over its iconic baby powder. Jurors in state court in Oakland on Wednesday held J&J responsible for Teresa Leavitt’s mesothelioma, a cancer linked to asbestos exposure. The panel, which included a lawyer and a state-court judge, also found the world’s largest maker of healthcare products didn’t warn Leavitt that its baby powder was tainted with the carcinogen.
