Case Details
A St. Louis, Missouri, jury awarded $110.5 million to Virginia resident Lois Slemp, who developed ovarian cancer after decades-long use of Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based products (Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower Powder). The award included $5.4 million in compensatory damages and $105 million in punitive damages against J&J, plus $50,000 against Imerys Talc.
Additional Notes
This is the largest settlement to date against Johnson & Johnson for its talc products. J&J was found 99 percent at fault. This is one of five talc product verdicts against J&J in 18 months, totaling approximately $72 million, $70 million, and $55 million previously.
