The son of a woman who was a 'true fan' of Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder testified before lawmakers, asking for help for women like his mother, who died of ovarian cancer after regularly using talc-based powder
The son of a woman who was a"true fan" of Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder, who made it a"necessary part of our hygienic routine," testified before lawmakers on Tuesday, asking for help for women like his mother, who died of ovarian cancer after regularly using talc-based powder.
"I ask that this body use whatever power in its disposal to assist in bringing about justice for my mother," Marvin Salter said. Salter's mother, Jackie Fox, sued J&J after she was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer in 2013. She did not live to see the trial in 2016, but a jury awarded her family $72 million. The decision was later overturned.$4.
"As it pertains to today's hearing, the testimony was biased with a majority of witnesses being connected to litigation against our company. As a result, decades of studies concluding that Johnson's Baby Powder is free of asbestos and safe to use were not discussed, and the subcommittee did not hear the preponderance of evidence that supports the safety of our product," he wrote.
