Johnson & Johnson ordered to pay $966 million after jury finds company liable in talc cancer case

  • On Monday evening, a jury in Los Angeles decided that Johnson & Johnson must pay $966 million to the relatives of Mae Moore, who passed away from mesothelioma.
  • The case followed a 2021 lawsuit by Mae Moore's family, who alleged that the company’s talc baby powder contained asbestos that caused her rare cancer.
  • According to court documents, the jury determined Johnson & Johnson was responsible and awarded $16 million for compensation along with $950 million in punitive damages.
  • Johnson & Johnson asserts that its products are free of asbestos, are non-carcinogenic, and remain safe for use.
  • An appeal may lead to a smaller verdict, since the U.S. Supreme Court typically recommends that punitive damages not surpass nine times the amount of compensatory damages.
