Scottish women sue Johnson & Johnson over asbestos-tainted talc linked to ovarian cancer.
Scottish women have filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, alleging the company sold asbestos-contaminated talcum powder for decades despite knowing the cancer risks, with plaintiffs linking its use to ovarian cancer.
The case, the first of its kind in Scottish courts, is led by Lefevres law firm and references internal 1960s warnings about tremolite in talc.
Thousands of similar claims are pending across the UK, where talc-based baby powder was banned in 2023.
Johnson & Johnson has not commented.
U.S. lawsuits have previously resulted in billions in damages, and UK claims could seek hundreds of millions in compensation.
