Jury awards $417M in suit linking baby powder to cancer

摘要

A Los Angeles jury yesterday ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $417 million in damages to a medical receptionist who, after using Johnson's Baby Powder on her perineum for decades, developed ovarian cancer. Eva Echeverria is one of thousands of women who have sued the company claiming baby powder caused ovarian cancer. This case may be the largest award yet in a lawsuit linking the disease to talcum powder.
