Johnson & Johnson Attack Claims Of Fraud, Conspiracy Claims In Talcum Powder Lawsuit

October 31, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recent attempt by Johnson & Johnson to disprove claims of conspiracy and fraud.

HarrisMartin Publishing recently published an article discussing Johnson & Johnson’s efforts to have claims of fraud, misrepresentation, conspiracy and warranty claims dismissed. The company argues that the claims have not presented the court with “sufficient particularity.” The motion was filed on Aug. 23 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, the article stated.

Many women have claimed that they have gotten the life-threatening disease after using Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder products.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 plaintiffs have filed suits so far concerning the alleged effects of these powders. Many have already been awarded millions of dollars in compensation and lawsuit numbers are continuing to grow. Most of the filed cases are pending in a Missouri federal court, while others have been filed in New Jersey, where Johnson & Johnson is headquartered.
