The verdict, in California Superior Court in Oakland, marks the latest defeat for the healthcare conglomerate, which faces more than 13,000 talc-related lawsuits nationwide. The New Brunswick, New Jersey-based company denies that its talc causes cancer, saying numerous studies and tests by regulators worldwide have shown that its talc is safe and asbestos-free.

This is absolute nonsense. Lawyers trying to pad their bank accounts while utilizing unintelligent jurors. Big problem in US.

A slap on the wrist.

Tests taken over decades at levels that surpass government and industry standards—have consistently shown that Johnson’s cosmetic talc does not contain asbestos.
