November 9, 2026 - Attributable to Aviva Wein, Worldwide Vice President, Head of Litigation, Johnson & Johnson:
“We will immediately appeal this verdict. The plaintiff lawyers failed to present even the most basic supporting evidence for their case: multiple witnesses, including members of plaintiff’s own family, testified under oath that they never saw him use Johnson’s Baby Powder nor discussed any such use with him. This “fact” surfaced only after litigation counsel was retained.
Without evidence to support their case, plaintiff’s attorneys relied on litigation-driven opinions that have repeatedly been disproven. In fact, decades of scientific research demonstrate Johnson’s Baby Powder does not contain asbestos and does not cause cancer. We remain confident that the evidence and the science support the safety of our products and will continue to vigorously defend these cases.”
