Johnson & Johnson Statement on Passmore-Meyer Defense Verdict

May 27, 2026 - Attributable to Erik Haas, Worldwide Vice President of Litigation, Johnson & Johnson:

“Yet another jury has rejected the plaintiffs’ bar’s baseless claims and found that Johnson’s Baby Powder is safe, does not contain asbestos, and does not cause cancer.

“This lawsuit and the entire talc litigation has never been about the plaintiffs — it has always been about plaintiff lawyers using junk science to chase jackpot verdicts to line their own pockets at the expense of all and everyone else. We are appreciative that the jury saw through the farce.”
