Johnson & Johnson Ordered to Pay $8 Million in Massachusetts Talc Mesothelioma Case

A Massachusetts jury has awarded $8 million to Janice Paluzzi, a woman who developed mesothelioma after using Johnson & Johnson's talcum powder products for decades. The jury found the company liable for negligence and breach of warranty, determining that its products, contaminated with asbestos, caused Paluzzi's cancer. Evidence presented in court revealed that Johnson & Johnson was aware of the asbestos in its talc supply for years but continued to market the products as safe. The company stopped selling talc-based products in the U.S. in 2020. Paluzzi, diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2021, used the company's Baby Powder on herself and her children daily.
