As of March 2024, the legal battle surrounding Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder lawsuit continues to evolve, presenting both challenges and opportunities for attorneys specializing in mass tort litigation.Â
Johnson & Johnson finds itself embroiled in a multifaceted battle to resolve the talcum powder lawsuits. Following two unsuccessful bankruptcy attempts, the pharmaceutical giant recently reached a significant milestone with a $700 million settlement aimed at alleviating some consumer protection claims.

Despite the strides made through the $700 million settlement, Johnson & Johnson’s legal woes are far from over. With over 50,000 personal injury lawsuits from talc users alleging links to cancer, the company continues to grapple with the aftermath of its talcum powder products. Moreover, ongoing bankruptcy filings and strategic maneuvers underscore the complexity of resolving these claims, as J&J navigates the intricate legal landscape to achieve a comprehensive resolution.Â
This month, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) reported a significant increase in the number of talcum powder lawsuits consolidated into the MDL, now totaling 53,796 cases.
