Johnson & Johnson is under fire for using a legal trick to avoid liability over its asbestos-laced talcum powder, which has been linked to cancer.
New York, October 23 (RHC)-- Johnson & Johnson is under fire for using a legal trick to avoid liability over its asbestos-laced talcum powder, which has been linked to cancer.
Thanks to a Texas loophole, J&J spun off a separate company to absorb nearly 40,000 lawsuits, then filed that entity for bankruptcy, putting all those cases on pause pending a bankruptcy settlement.
J&J heavily marketed its baby powder to African American women for years, with the knowledge its product contained asbestos.
