Los Angeles Talc-Asbestos Trial Ends in Settlement After Opening Statements — What It Means for You If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because you or someone you love used talc products for years and now has a cancer diagnosis — mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, or something a doctor connected to asbestos exposure — you are in the right place. What happened in a Los Angeles courtroom this week is not just a news story. It is a signal, and understanding it could change how you think about your own situation. A trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court — a case involving asbestos-contaminated talc products sold under Walmart’s Equate brand, manufactured by a company called Vi-Jon — ended abruptly. The parties reached a settlement one day after opening statements and the plaintiff’s testimony. The terms were not disclosed. The case was part of a broader coordinated asbestos litigation in Los Angeles County Superior Court, overseen by Superior Court Judge Theresa M. Traber, who also oversees the related Johnson & Johnson ovarian cancer talc proceedings. A second bellwether trial in the coordinated docket was set to begin the following Monday. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle…

Los Angeles Talc Ovarian Cancer Lawsuit: The Second Bellwether Trial Against Johnson & Johnson If you are reading this, you may be sitting at a kitchen table at an hour when most people are asleep, having just read about a trial in a Los Angeles courtroom where three families are telling a jury that Johnson’s Baby Powder — the powder you used for years, maybe decades, the powder your mother taught you to use, the powder that smelled like safety and gentleness — caused the ovarian cancer that took the women they loved. You may be connecting a dot you never connected before. The powder. The diagnosis. The years between. That recognition is not paranoia. It is the same recognition those three families had, and it is the same recognition more than 68,000 other plaintiffs have had — enough people that the federal court system consolidated their cases into one of the largest mass tort proceedings in American history.

A Los Angeles Jury Just Said What Many Families Already Suspected About Baby Powder and Cancer If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your mother used Johnson’s Baby Powder every day of her life and then died of ovarian cancer — or because your sister, your husband, or you yourself were diagnosed with mesothelioma after decades of daily talc use — you already know the question that brought you here.

We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm.

Los Angeles Talc Trial: Johnson & Johnson Knew About Asbestos in 1973 — and Three Women Are Dead If your mother, your wife, your sister used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years — for decades — and then died of ovarian cancer, you are reading this at a kitchen table at two in the morning with a question that will not let you sleep: did the powder do it? And if it did, did the company know? In a Los Angeles courtroom right now, a jury is hearing the answer to both questions. Three families brought their cases together in one trial because three women — three mothers, wives, people with names and histories and people who loved them — died of ovarian cancer after long-term use of Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based baby powder. And in front of that Los Angeles County jury, an attorney held up a document from 1973. It is an internal Johnson & Johnson memo. In it, executives discussed reports that found asbestos in talc mines. They considered safer alternatives — corn starch. They knew. Fifty years ago, they knew. And they kept selling talc. That memo is the spine of this trial. It is…

Los Angeles Johnson & Johnson Talc Trial: Three Families Tell a Jury What the Company Knew About Asbestos in Baby Powder for Decades If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone you love used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years and then was diagnosed with ovarian cancer — or died from it — you already know the hardest part is not knowing whether the powder on the bathroom shelf had anything to do with it. Right now, in a courtroom in downtown Los Angeles, three families are asking a jury to answer that exact question. The families of three women who died of ovarian cancer have presented internal Johnson & Johnson documents dating from the 1960s through the 1980s to a California jury, arguing those records prove the company knew its talc products were contaminated with asbestos and posed health hazards — even as it marketed the powder to women and children as pure and gentle. This is the second ovarian cancer bellwether trial to proceed in Los Angeles after Johnson & Johnson’s repeated attempts to resolve the litigation through bankruptcy were rejected by the federal courts. The first bellwether, tried in the same courtroom, ended with…

The $32 Million Los Angeles Verdict — What a Jury Decided About Johnson & Johnson’s Talc If you are reading this because someone you love was diagnosed with mesothelioma and you think back to the baby powder on the bathroom shelf — the one used every day for years, the one no one ever told you could carry asbestos — you are in the right place. A Los Angeles jury just told Johnson & Johnson what a community of twelve people thinks about that. They awarded $32 million to the family of a woman whose fatal mesothelioma was tied to long-term use of the company’s talc-based baby powder. That verdict is not a financial headline. It is a formal finding, by ordinary citizens in California’s largest and most plaintiff-favorable trial venue, that a product used in American homes for generations carried the invisible ingredient that killed her.
