Women Launch Legal Action Against Johnson & Johnson Over Talc and Cancer Claims in the UK
Hundreds of women in the UK, including cancer patients like Cassandra Wardle, are preparing to file a group legal action against Johnson & Johnson, alleging that the company’s talcum powder is linked to cancer. With nearly 1,900 potential claimants, this could be the largest pharmaceutical product group action in UK history. The plaintiffs claim that talcum powder contaminated with asbestos played a role in their diagnoses. Johnson & Johnson denies the allegations, stating that it conducted thorough safety testing. The case could be taken to court as early as 2025.
