Collective power creates change.
Talc Powder Justice is a coalescing force of plaintiffs, healthcare professionals, and attorneys, led by Mikal Watts of Watts Law Firm, LLP, that have fought for restitution for women harmed by talc for over a decade.
Johnson & Johnson’s commitment to $8.9 billion in compensation for these deserving women is the largest products liability settlement ever realized after a bankruptcy filing. After several months of tense and slow private settlement negotiations, Watts achieved a potential resolution to all talc cases nationwide.
If confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and approved by at least 75% of talc claimants, the proposed settlement will force the settling defendants to fund a $12.08 billion Talc Trust over 25 years for the benefit of talc claimants.
As a result of the strength of the terms of the proposed settlement, firms across the country representing a vast majority of J&J talc claimants have announced their broad support for this new $8.9 billion settlement.
Talc Powder Justice is a valuable resource for women with unfiled claims against J&J and current claimants, providing information on the Procedural History of the Case, Terms of the Proposed Settlement, Next Steps in Bankruptcy Court, and more.
