Johnson & Johnson Settles Talc Baby Powder Investigation for $700 Million

Johnson & Johnson has reached a $700 million settlement to resolve an investigation by over 40 states into claims that the company misled patients about the safety of its talc baby powder and other talc-based products. This settlement does not resolve the tens of thousands of consumer lawsuits alleging that the products caused cancer. J&J has faced financial and public relations trouble for decades over this issue and has twice tried to resolve the consumer talc cases through bankruptcy attempts.
