Prolonged exposure to asbestos has also been linked to cases of mesothelioma and lung cancer, according to some medical studies.

J&J said in a statement Friday that it "has a rigorous testing standard in place to ensure its cosmetic talc is safe and years of testing, including the FDA's own testing on prior occasions – and as recently as last month – found no asbestos". "Thousands of tests over the past 40 years repeatedly confirm that our consumer talc products do not contain asbestos," the company added.

J&J is dealing with a series of other legal problems, most notably about the company's role in the opioid addiction crisis. That could cost the company billions of dollars in settlement costs.Earlier this month, a Pennsylvania jury also ruled that J&J must pay US$8 billion in punitive damages following a man's claim that the company didn't warn young men that they could grow breasts after using the antipsychotic drug Risperdal.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also announced Thursday that J&J agreed to pay nearly US$117 million in a multistate settlement to resolve allegations about deceptive marketing of transvaginal surgical mesh devices that are used to treat bladder problems.
