One of the latest talcum powder asbestos trial cases is underway as a 94-year-old lady is claiming that her fatal mesothelioma was caused by talc.
This is one of the many cases being pursued in an action where millions of pounds have been awarded to victims who have successfully claimed that their deadly asbestos-related illnesses have been caused by talcum powder containing the deadly substance.
The talcum powder asbestos action is one of the biggest medical product issues of our time, and it could be set to go on for a number of years.
One of the latest talcum powder asbestos going to court may be set to be a fierce legal battle as lawyers representing the victim are facing an intense dispute from manufacturer, J & J, who are alleging that that the victim’s cancer was caused by her smoking asbestos-laden cigarettes.
J & J still continue to deny that there is asbestos in their products, despite experts supporting legal action being taken against them, and despite evidence of an alleged “cover-up” suggesting that they have known for a long time that their talc is dangerous.
The cases stem from cross-contamination from talc that’s mined in close proximity to asbestos.
There has been a lot of success for victims claiming for damages against the likes of J & J over talcum powder asbestos injuries. We would expect that this case may well follow suit and see the same kinds of success that many others have had before.
There are thought to be thousands of people claiming damages for talcum powder asbestos contamination, and with asbestos-related illnesses normally being life-threatening and incurable, the damages per Claimant can easily run into the millions of pounds as they have done so already for those who have obtained successful judgments.
