Johnson & Johnson must pay $1.56 billion in damages to cancer patients in

Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to pay about $1.56 billion to a Maryland woman who claimed her baby powder caused asbestos-related cancer.

It is the largest award ever made to a single person in 15 years of litigation. A jury in a Baltimore court ruled late Monday that J&J, two of its subsidiaries and its separate company Kenvue were liable for failing to warn Cherie Kraft that her baby powder contained asbestos, which researchers have linked to mesothelioma, a form of cancer.

The ruling comes as J&J has faced a series of lawsuits over its baby powder, after it failed this year to use bankruptcy court to force the settlement of more than 70,000 lawsuits over its product. The Maryland ruling overshadows a $966 million settlement in October for the family of a California woman who died of mesothelioma after using J&J’s talc-based baby powder for most of her life. J&J has consistently maintained that talc does not cause cancer and that the product has never contained asbestos. The company also maintains that it has been properly marketing its baby powder for more than 100 years.

“ We will immediately appeal this outrageous and clearly unconstitutional decision, which is a direct result of serious errors committed by the trial court, which allowed plaintiff’s counsel to fill the case file with inappropriate and prejudicial statements and allegations ,” said Eric Haas, head of J&J’s litigation department.
