Philadelphia Jury Says J&J Baby Powder Caused Fatal Ovarian Cancer — What the $250,000 Verdict Means for 176 Pending Families and Yours If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone you love used Johnson’s Baby Powder for years and then died of ovarian cancer, you already know the question that brought you here. You want to know whether this product caused her cancer, whether the Philadelphia jury verdict you read about applies to your family, and whether the door is still open. We are going to answer all of that, plainly and completely, because the answer to every one of those questions matters more than anything we could say about ourselves. A Philadelphia jury has now formally decided what thousands of families have suspected: Johnson & Johnson’s talc-based baby powder caused a woman’s ovarian cancer, and the company is legally responsible for her death. The jury awarded her family $250,000. That verdict was rendered in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, in a consolidated mass tort docket that currently holds 176 similar lawsuits — 176 families who are waiting for their own day in front of a Philadelphia jury. If your loved one used talc-based baby powder and…

The Philadelphia Talc Verdict: What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because you used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years — or your mother did, or your sister did — and then the diagnosis came, you already know the question that keeps you awake. You are not asking whether the powder was dangerous. You are asking whether it was this powder. Whether the cancer that took over your life, or took your loved one’s life, traces back to something that sat on a bathroom shelf for decades, something that was supposed to be gentle, something marketed for babies. A Philadelphia jury just answered that question for one family. After three weeks of trial and several days of deliberation, twelve people in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County found Johnson & Johnson liable for the ovarian cancer death of a Philadelphia woman who used its baby powder for decades. The jury awarded $50,000 in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages — $250,000 total — to her estate. That verdict, in a case called Emerson v. Johnson & Johnson, Case No. 190509334, is the first time a Philadelphia jury has found…

When the Product You Trusted for Decades Turns Out to Be the Danger — Philadelphia’s First Talc Verdict and What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because you used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years and then heard the word “ovarian cancer” — or because someone you love is gone and you just learned that the powder on the bathroom shelf may have been the reason — we need you to hear something before anything else: a Philadelphia jury has already said this is real. A jury of twelve people in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas sat through three weeks of evidence, deliberated for more than three days, and found that Johnson & Johnson is responsible for a woman’s death from ovarian cancer after she used their talc-based baby powder for more than forty-five years. That verdict is not a lawyer’s argument. It is a finding by ordinary citizens who heard the science, saw the corporate documents, and decided that the company knew and hid the danger. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes Pennsylvania cases, and we are writing this…

Philadelphia Talc Verdict: What Ovarian Cancer Patients and Their Families Need to Know Right Now If you or someone you love used talcum powder for feminine hygiene over months or years and later heard the words “ovarian cancer” from a doctor — you may have suspected for a long time that the powder you trusted was connected to the disease. A Philadelphia jury has now said the same thing. Johnson & Johnson, the company that marketed that powder as safe enough for a baby, has been ordered to pay damages in a talc-related ovarian cancer case — the first plaintiff verdict in that city since talc litigation resumed after the bankruptcy maneuver that was supposed to make every one of these cases disappear quietly into a federal court in New Jersey instead of reaching a jury at all. That bankruptcy strategy failed. Three times the company tried to wall these cases off inside a bankruptcy it engineered on purpose, and three times courts refused to let it happen. The courthouse doors are open again. But the fact that they are open does not mean your case files itself, and it does not mean the clock on your right to file…

What Happened on Academy Road — and What It Means for You If You Were on That Bus If you were on that SEPTA bus Tuesday morning on Academy Road near Eden Street, you are reading this because something hit you from behind that was never supposed to get that close. A transit bus is large, visible, and unmistakable. It was stopped. And an Amazon tractor-trailer drove into the back of it. You may have been thrown forward in your seat. You may have hit the metal pole, the window, the seat in front of you. You may have walked off the bus thinking you were fine, and now — hours or days later — your neck will not turn, your head will not stop pounding, and you cannot remember why you walked into a room. That is not a mystery. That is how these injuries work, and the fact that someone called your injuries “non-life-threatening” at the scene does not mean they are minor. It means you were not going to die in the next six hours. It says nothing about the next six months. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle commercial truck crash cases,…

You Were Doing Your Job When the Bite Happened You were working security at a rooftop bar in Center City, Philadelphia.

Days Inn on Roosevelt Boulevard and the $24 Million Trafficking Settlement: What Philadelphia Survivors Need to Know If you are reading this at 2 a.m., we want you to know one thing first: what happened to you is not your fault, and the law has changed in ways that may matter for you even years later. The case at the Days Inn on Roosevelt Boulevard — where eight women, four of them children when it began, were trafficked over a span of years in rooms rented for days and weeks at a time — produced one of the largest civil trafficking settlements in Pennsylvania history. The motel agreed to pay $24 million. The traffickers and a security guard who took bribes to look the other way went to federal prison. That outcome is not a fluke. It is the result of a federal civil rights statute that exists for exactly this purpose, applied to a corporate defendant that had the resources to pay and the culpability to owe. We represent people who have been trafficked, and people who have been hurt by businesses that profited from their exploitation. This page explains, in plain language, what the Philadelphia case teaches, what…

$17.5M Settlement for Three Women Trafficked as Minors at Northeast Philadelphia Hotels — Attorney911 Holds Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and the Owners of Motel 6, Days Inn, and North American Motor Inn Accountable for Failing to Stop Ongoing Criminal Exploitation, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Trafficking Cases, We Preserve Police Call Logs and Guest Records Before They Disappear, Trafficking Victims Protection Act and Pennsylvania’s Premises Liability Doctrine, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Catastrophic Injury Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Three Philadelphia Hotels, Three Women Trafficked as Minors, and the Federal Law That Made the Hotel Industry Pay We write this page for the survivor reading it at 2 a.m., the mother who has just found out what happened in the room she paid for, and the advocate who knows the truth has been sitting in a hotel ledger for years. This page is about what the law actually says when a national hotel chain profits from a room where a child is sold, and what we do about it. Between May 2015 and January 2017, three women, all minors at the time, were sex-trafficked at three hotels along Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia: the Motel 6, the Days Inn, and the North American Motor Inn. The hotels collected room revenue from the men who paid to sexually abuse those young women. Philadelphia police visited these properties again and again. The women who survived filed suit under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, and on the eve of trial, the hotels agreed to pay $17.5 million. The companies did not admit liability. The families did not need them to. The federal civil-remedy statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1595, lets a survivor reach…
