Johnson & Johnson to pay $5.5B to settle remaining talc lawsuits

This proposed settlement is contingent on at least 95% of claimants participating and aims to conclude roughly 15 years of litigation. The company stated this resolution follows favorable court rulings where plaintiffs struggled to establish a causal link between its talc products and ovarian cancer, asserting that most prior cases were decided in its favor.

    Johnson & Johnson plans to settle talc lawsuits for $5.5 billion

    强生公司当地时间7月27日宣布,已与负责联邦多地区诉讼及相关州法院案件的原告律师团队达成协议,拟全面解决剩余滑石粉相关诉讼。该方案以至少95%的剩余索赔参与为前提,预计将结束持续约15年的相关诉讼。强生表示,该和解方案是在有利于公司的法院裁决后提出。此前,MDL法院认定原告难以证明强生滑石粉产品与具体卵巢癌病例之间存在因果关系。强生称,公司此前已在绝大多数卵巢癌相关案件中胜诉,并认为相关索赔缺乏科学依据。根据协议,强生将承诺支付55亿美元解决相关索赔,首笔付款不超过30亿美元,预计于2027年支付,2028年前不会有额外付款。(界面)
