Updates on the Talcum Powder Litigation

Talcum Powder Litigation Update: July 2024 Marks a Significant Shift

Attorney Mikal Watts provides an important update on the ongoing talcum powder litigation involving Johnson & Johnson (J&J). This complex case, which links talc usage to ovarian cancer, has been unfolding for over a decade, with the first trial occurring in 2013. Despite J&J’s claims of prevailing in the majority of these trials, the sad reality is that their strategy of delay has impacted many victims, with some passing away before their cases could be resolved.

Mikal Watts has been instrumental in negotiating a potential landmark settlement with J&J that aims to resolve not just individual claims but also those of every affected woman in the country. This proposed $8 billion settlement is contingent on the approval of the victims, with an average recovery estimated between $75,000 and $150,000. Some may receive significantly more based on various factors involved in evaluating each case.
