We are pleased with the jury’s unanimous verdict, which is consistent with decades of clinical evidence and scientific studies by medical experts confirming Johnson’s Baby Powder does not contain asbestos or cause mesothelioma.
This verdict follows two mistrials in similar cases heard in California, where hung juries could not reach a verdict.
We have deep sympathy for anyone diagnosed with any form of cancer and appreciate that people are looking for answers. However, JOHNSON’S Baby Powder is not the cause of this disease. Over the past 50 years, multiple independent, non-litigation driven scientific evaluations have been conducted by respected academic institutions and government bodies including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and none have concluded that the talc in JOHNSON’S Baby Powder contains asbestos.
