Johnson & Johnson Opposes Plaintiffs’ Effort To Transfer Case In Talcum Powder Lawsuit

October 31, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on recent opposition by Johnson & Johnson to have a case transferred to another court division.

According to HarrisMartin Publishing, Johnson & Johnson, who are involved in talcum powder lawsuits in Missouri state court, have opposed recent plaintiff efforts to transfer their claims to another division. Johnson & Johnson argues that the court should rule on the defendants’ motion to stay the claims before transferring the cases, the news source said.

The first talcum powder lawsuit was filed in 2009 by a woman from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2006 when she was 49 years old, according to an article by Huffington Post. She had allegedly used Johnson & Johnson powder for feminine hygiene purposes for many years.The plaintiff filed the complaint claiming Johnson & Johnson should be held accountable for gross negligence and fraud. Though a jury confirmed the association between cancer and talcum powder, the plaintiff was offered no compensatory damages.

Thousands of women in the U.S. have made claims alleging that Johnson & Johnson hid valuable medical information that prevented consumers from knowing the dangers of using the powders. Those plaintiffs further claim that the use of Johnson & Johnson’s powders as a feminine hygiene product are directly linked to ovarian cancer. Johnson & Johnson has denied claims that their products cause cancer and has stated that no causal link exists.
