Gift Article ShareJudge reduces jury award in J&J talc case Wp Get the full experience. 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.
