Firm has lost several court cases linking talc to ovarian cancer, but vows to appeal
Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has been ordered by a US court to pay more than $110 million (£86 million) to a woman who says she developed ovarian cancer from using the company’s talcum powder. This is the largest award to arise out of several lawsuits against J&J over its talc-based products, with thousands more waiting to be resolved.
