Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) should pay an Oregon girl who claims she developed mesothelioma after inhaling the corporate’s talc merchandise $260M, an Oregon jury dominated on Monday. The jury award contains $60M in compensatory damages and $200M in punitive damages. The plaintiff alleged she developed mesothelioma from asbestos-containing talc over greater than three many years, beginning when her mom used it on her when she was a child and later as a deodorant, Reuters reported. A J&J legal professional at trial mentioned the plaintiff’s mesothelioma was doubtless the results of publicity to asbestos from a manufacturing unit near the place she grew up.
