Johnson & Johnson Set to Pay $6.5 Billion in Lawsuit Settlement

The Johnson business revealed plans to settle the talc product cases in a statement. The plan takes 25 years to settle the claim, which is worth billions of dollars. However, this is awaiting approval.

The decade-long cases have affected the business financially and have soiled the brand and reputation. Over 99% of these cases stem from the talc product, and complaints from consumers indicated that it has led to ovarian cancer. 

Sadly, this aftermath has affected not only the Johnsons but also its subsidiaries. The company set up a subsidiary firm to manage the liabilities resulting from the product case and salvage the situation.

The court aborted the company’s previous attempts to settle the cases through the subsidiary’s bankruptcy. The company has made provisions for the claim amounting to over $11 billion against the initial $2 billion and hopes to get approval.

According to the company’s executive, the Johnsons have significant support from most plaintiffs. The company will embark on a 3-month voting period for plaintiffs who didn’t get the opportunity to do so in previous cases. 

The executive said the company remains optimistic that it will get the higher support needed to settle the case forever. Hence, the company has made provisions for the claim amounting to over $11 billion against the initial $2 billion and hopes to get approval. 

POLL—Should the Government Increase Taxes on the Wealthy To Reduce Economic Inequality?

Erik Haas, the company’s worldwide VP of litigation, said in a call that the new approach and plan are more advantageous to the plaintiffs and should receive quick consideration from the court. 

More cases are involved, and most plaintiffs may not get to have a trial in court as this would take decades to attend. The litigation verdict in favor of some plaintiffs has resulted in a nearly $2 billion settlement for 22 women who trace their ovarian cancer case to the talc product. 

Even though some have yet to recover, if we go by the number of cases, how many will get the opportunity for a trial in court?

Haas concluded that the settlement is a far better recovery process and plan for the plaintiffs. On the pre-market trading floor, the company’s shares rose above a 2% increase. 

Among the mounting legal woes plaguing the Johnsons are those related to mesothelioma cancer, a rare type that will be addressed outside of the current settlement plan. “We can say we have sorted out over 95% of the filed cases involved,” Haas noted.

The coalition of more than forty states claims that the company misled customers about the safety and use of its talc products. Nevertheless, the Johnsons said they have agreed on a proper plan to resolve the investigation and complaints from suppliers and all other parties involved.
