UK Women to Sue Johnson & Johnson Over Talc-Cancer Claims

Thousands allege Johnson & Johnson's talcum powder caused cancer, initiating landmark UK legal action.

Approximately 2,000 women in the UK are pursuing legal action against Johnson & Johnson, claiming the company's talcum powder is linked to cancer due to alleged asbestos contamination.
The case, led by KP Law, could represent the largest class action against a pharmaceutical company in England and Wales.
Johnson & Johnson has faced similar lawsuits in the US, resulting in billions in settlements, although the company has won many cases on appeal.
Johnson & Johnson maintains its talc products are safe and free from asbestos, citing independent scientific findings supporting their stance.
The legal proceedings in the UK are expected to begin next year, with claimants seeking justice for what they allege is corporate negligence.
