Choose your plan ArrowRight Johnson & Johnson persuaded a New York judge to slash by about two-thirds a $325 million jury award to a woman who blamed her asbestos-related cancer on use of the companys baby powder.

Justice Gerald Lebovits in Manhattan on Thursday declined to throw out the entire 2019 award to Donna Olson and her family over claims the companys talc-based powders caused her mesothelioma, after finding there was evidence to support the jurys verdict. We deeply sympathize with anyone suffering from cancer, which is why the facts are so important, the company said.
