Johnson & Johnson has reached a landmark settlement of $5.5 billion to resolve tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging its talc-based baby powder caused ovarian cancer. The agreement covers approximately 69,000 cases consolidated in federal court in New Jersey and related state court cases, totaling 99.75% of remaining talc claims. Plaintiffs’ law firms confirmed the deal as a fair resolution after a decade-long legal battle. While the settlement must still be approved by the overseeing judge, the company maintains its stance that the product was safe and did not contain asbestos. This follows a recent court victory where a federal judge cast doubt on plaintiffs’ ability to prove talc caused ovarian cancer. The litigation resumed in March 2025 after being paused for over three years during J&J’s failed attempts to resolve claims through bankruptcy. Unlike previous settlements, this agreement applies only to existing cases and does not address future lawsuits. The company stopped selling talc-based baby powder in the U.S. in 2020, switching to a cornstarch alternative.
