A 30-year-old woman was killed by J and J talc, according to one of the many legal cases being pursued against pharmaceutical giant, Johnson and Johnson.<\/p>\n

Legal representatives for the woman at the centre of the case, who was reportedly a lawyer herself, say that she was killed by J and J talc powder because she was exposed to asbestos that had been contaminated with the talcum powder.<\/p>\n

The victim reportedly developed the deadly and aggressive mesothelioma which was argued to have been caused by her use of Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So far, millions of pounds in damages verdicts have been made against Johnson and Johnson<\/strong><\/a> and their supplier over people who have allegedly been killed by J and J talc products.<\/p>\n

Experts have weighed in on the issue and have stated that they believe trace amounts of asbestos have made their way into J and J talc<\/strong><\/a> as a result of the substances being mined in close proximity to one another.<\/p>\n

Johnson and Johnson deny that their talc is harmful, although they have also been accused of covering-up the issue<\/strong><\/a> and only using tests that would specifically not identify any asbestos in their talcum powder.<\/p>\n

The legal battles between reportedly thousands of Claimants and the pharmaceutical giant have been going on for some time now, but over the last year or so, we have seen more and more cases succeeding at trial; setting a trend for the others to keep fighting their cases.<\/p>\n

In the closing arguments of the counsel who are representing the victim\u2019s husband in this latest case, it was argued that the victim was killed by J and J talcum powder. Johnson and Johnson reportedly argued that the victim had a rare type of mesothelioma that was allegedly not associated with asbestos.<\/p>\n

This is one of many cases we are keeping a close eye on, as well as monitoring the actions on the whole. Given the number of successes at trial, it\u2019s looking like the wave of legal cases against Johnson and Johnson will not be waning anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
