Asbestos exposure is extremely dangerous to humans and can cause lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and a rare and deadly form of lung cancer, mesothelioma. Current research suggests the only known cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos fibers.
As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s executives have consistently denied that their products contain asbestos. However, in 2017, documents exposed Johnson & Johnson for lying about asbestos found in their talcum powder products. In fact, J&J executives knew about the asbestos liabilities as early as the 1960s.
