TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recent report by HarrisMartin Publishing which discusses briefing exchanges concerning venue, forum non conveniens, severance, and jurisdiction.
Reports state, “parties in a Missouri state court talcum powder lawsuit have exchanged briefing on a number of pending motions, including defense efforts to transfer venue, to dismiss the non-Missouri plaintiffs’ claims under forum non conveniens, to sever, and to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.” Plaintiffs opposed the motions on Oct. 24 in Missouri State Court, the report said.
Several plaintiffs have already been awarded millions of dollars in compensation and lawsuit numbers are continuing to grow. These suits against companies such as Johnson & Johnson allege that their talcum powder products are directly linked to the development of ovarian cancer. In many cases, plaintiffs have claimed that they or a loved one used Johnson & Johnson powder as a feminine hygiene product and later developed the deadly disease. Most of the filed cases are pending in a Missouri federal court, while others have been filed in New Jersey, where Johnson & Johnson is headquartered.
As scientists continue to study the disease, numerous studies over the course of 45 years have found that women who use baby powder as a feminine hygiene product are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. Johnson & Johnson has maintained denial in these claims and has previously stated that there is no link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. The company has never released a warning about the potential risks of its Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower To Shower products.
