Mesothelioma Case: Johnson & Johnson Fined $18.8m Over Talc Exposure

By 0

A California jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson (J&J) to pay US$18.8 million to Emory Hernandez Valadez, who claimed he developed mesothelioma, a deadly cancer, from long-term exposure to the company’s talc-based baby powder. This ruling marks a significant setback for J&J as it grapples with thousands of comparable cases in the US bankruptcy court.
