Case Details
St. Louis jury awarded 22 women $25 million each in compensatory damages and $4.19 billion in punitive damages after developing ovarian cancer from using J&J's talc powder, which was found to be tainted with asbestos.
Additional Notes
Jury clearly agreed with the women, awarding them $25 million each in compensatory damages. In addition to that, however, the jury assessed $4.19 billion in punitive damages intended to punish J&J for concealing and denying the link between the genital use of talc powder and the development of ovarian cancer.
