flag A Philadelphia jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $250,000 to the family of Gayle Emerson, who died from ovarian cancer, ruling the company’s talc-based baby powder contributed to her illness due to inadequate warnings. flag The 2019 lawsuit alleged the product posed cancer risks when used near the genital area, though J&J disputes the findings, citing lack of scientific evidence and claiming the FDA never required such warnings. flag The company, which stopped selling talc-based baby powder in the U.S. and Canada in 2020, plans to appeal. flag The verdict is part of over 67,000 similar claims nationwide, with recent legal developments allowing expert testimony linking talc to cancer.
