Johnson & Johnson Statement on Defense Win in California JCCP Bellwether Case

June 5, 2026 - Attributable to Erik Haas, Worldwide Vice President of Litigation, Johnson & Johnson:

“As with the defense verdict in Oklahoma last week, yet another jury found what the Company has always maintained: that Johnson’s Baby Powder is safe, does not contain asbestos, and does not cause cancer (see here for more on that verdict).

“This lawsuit has never been about the plaintiffs—it is about the plaintiffs’ bar weaponizing junk science to chase windfalls and enrich themselves at the expense of truth, justice, and their own clients. Another jury saw through the farce.”
