J&J to pay $700M to settle complaints

By Hemwant Yadav ,
Johnson & Johnson is set to pay $700 million to settle numerous complaints concerning the safety of its talc-based powder products. This significant settlement addresses allegations that the pharmaceutical giant had previously misrepresented the safety of these products.

The $700 million payment will conclude investigations conducted by over 40 states into the presence of carcinogenic asbestos in Johnson & Johnson's baby powder and other talc-based items. This agreement marks a major resolution in the long-standing disputes surrounding the safety of these products.


Despite agreeing to this settlement, Johnson & Johnson continues to deny that its talc-based powder products cause cancer. However, the company has agreed to this settlement to resolve the ongoing legal battles.


New York Attorney General Letitia James commented on the settlement, stating, "Selling cosmetic products containing harmful substances is not only illegal but also deeply unethical. While no amount of money can erase the suffering caused by Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based products, this settlement ensures that the company is held accountable for the harm inflicted and that these dangerous products will no longer be available in New York."


The settlement includes holding companies responsible for marketing and selling personal care products that harm consumers. Although Johnson & Johnson stopped selling its talc-based powders in North America in 2020 and ceased worldwide sales last year, the company maintains that its products are safe and non-carcinogenic. J&J also indicated it will continue seeking comprehensive resolutions to the ongoing talc-related disputes.


This payment and the subsequent measures highlight the importance of corporate accountability and consumer safety in the personal care industry.

Erik Haas, Johnson & Johnson's global vice president of litigation, announced that the company has finalized an agreement with a group of 43 State Attorneys General to settle talc-related claims. "We will continue to address the claims of those who do not want to join our planned consensual bankruptcy resolution through litigation or settlement," Haas stated.


However, this settlement does not resolve the numerous lawsuits filed by consumers alleging that J&J products caused their cancer.


Last month, the company announced it would move forward with a $6.475 billion settlement to settle 99.75 percent of its pending US lawsuits.


Investigations by The New York Times and Reuters revealed that J&J executives concealed concerns for decades about the possible presence of asbestos in their baby powder products.


A 2020 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found no statistical link between using powder in the genital area and ovarian cancer in women. However, researchers cautioned that the study, which analyzed data from 250,000 women in the US, might not have been large enough to detect a small potential increase in risk.
