(Health-NewsWire.Net, September 21, 2016 ) Talcum Powder Lawsuit Info: Johnson & Johnson has convinced a New Jersey Superior Court Judge to grant summary judgments in two talcum powder lawsuits that were scheduled for upcoming trials, Southern Med Law reports. According to a report from Bloomberg.com, the Court agreed with the company’s assertion that the talcum powder lawsuit plaintiffs had not produced sufficient medical evidence showing Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder caused ovarian cancer.

“While this development is certainly disappointing, it must be noted that the rulings will have no impact on any Johnson & Johnson talc powder lawsuit filed outside of New Jersey, including those pending in a centralized litigation in Missouri, or any that are pending in various federal courts,” said Dr. François Blaudeau, the founder of Southern Med Law. “Judges in other jurisdictions have already allowed talcum powder ovarian cancer trials to proceed after finding that there is sufficient evidence linking the products to the disease.”
Johnson & Johnson is facing more than 1,000 talcum powder lawsuits, including nearly 200 talcum powder lawsuits that have been consolidated in New Jersey’s Atlantic County Superior Court, where the two cases were dismissed earlier this month. Hundreds of other talcum powder lawsuit claims are undergoing centralized proceedings in St. Louis Circuit Court in Missouri.

Talcum Powder Lawsuits In Federal Courts Petitioned The U.S. JPML To Centralize Cases
In July, plaintiffs pursuing Johnson & Johnson talcum powder lawsuits in federal courts around the country petitioned the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) to centralize their cases in a single U.S. District Court for the purposes of coordinated pretrial proceedings. A hearing on the petition has been set for September 29th.

Talcum Powder Lawsuit Complaints Cite Numerous Studies Dating Back To The 1970s That Suggest Link Between Talcum Powder And Ovarian Cancer
Plaintiffs involved in the Johnson & Johnson talcum powder litigation claim that the repeated application of products like Shower-to-Shower and Baby Powder to the female genitals can contribute to the development of ovarian cancer. Their talcum powder lawsuit complaints cite numerous talcum powder studies dating back to the 1970s that suggest such a link exists, and charge that Johnson & Johnson was aware of this research but declined to provide consumers with any warnings in this regard.
Missouri’s First Talcum Powder Lawsuit Trial Awarded $72 Million
In February, the jury hearing evidence in Missouri’s first talcum powder lawsuit trial awarded $72 million to the family of an ovarian cancer victim who died after using Johnson & Johnson talcum powders for more than three decades. Two months later, jurors hearing another talcum powder ovarian cancer lawsuit ordered the company to pay $55 million to a South Dakota plaintiff who was diagnosed with the disease following years of genital talcum powder use. A third Missouri trial is scheduled to begin later this month.
