The solicitation period for the company's latest settlement proposal to cover cancer allegations opens this week.

A jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $260 million to an Oregon woman who said she developed a deadly cancer from using the company’s products that contained talc powder .

Lee’s attorneys said the mother of three was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer found in the lining of the lungs, in August 2023. “As the Court acknowledged, the plaintiffs’ counsel engaged in 'willful and bad faith conduct' during the trial, which by itself is grounds for reversal,” Haas continued.

Johnson & Johnson had twice tried to use bankruptcy courts as a way to limit its liability, proposing last year to pay nearly $9 billion to settle more than 52,000 personal injury lawsuits – many of which were filed by women who allegedly developed ovarian cancer after using the company's talc-based products.
