NEW YORK, March 28 ― Johnson & Johnson will get a new chance to contest the scientific evidence linking talc to ovarian cancer, a federal judge ruled yesterday, potentially...

Home minister cites 3.5 million foreigners as reason to stop automatic citizenship for permanent residents’ kids, insists won’t make them statelessIn a brief written order, US District Judge Michael Shipp in Trenton, New Jersey, who is overseeing the lawsuits that have been consolidated in his court, said recent changes in the law and new scientific evidence require a fresh review of the evidence that linked J&J products to ovarian cancer.

“The passage of time has only solidified the decades of medicine and science that support Johnson & Johnson's position in these cases,” Haas said in a statement. The talc lawsuits had been on hold from 2021 to 2023, while J&J pursued failed efforts to resolve the litigation through the bankruptcy of a subsidiary company, LTL Management.J&J will have until July 23 to make renewed arguments about the scientific evidence in the case, according to Shipp's order.

So-called “Daubert” decisions on expert testimony can sometimes be major turning points in litigation. For example, drugmakers GSK, Pfizer, Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim succeeded in ending 50,000 lawsuits alleging the heartburn drug Zantac caused cancer, after a federal judge in Florida ruled in 2022 that the claims were not backed by sound science.
