Johnson & Johnson is facing legal action from cancer victims who are accusing the company of engaging in 'fraudulent' bankruptcies. The lawsuits allege that Johnson & Johnson used bankruptcy proceedings to shield itself from liability related to cancer cases linked to its talc products.
The company has been under scrutiny for years over allegations that its talcum powder products contain asbestos and have caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma in some users. Despite maintaining that its products are safe, Johnson & Johnson has faced numerous lawsuits and legal challenges.
In response to the mounting legal pressure, Johnson & Johnson has filed for bankruptcy protection for its talc-related liabilities. However, cancer victims and their families are now fighting back, claiming that the bankruptcies are a tactic to avoid accountability and deny them justice.
The lawsuits argue that Johnson & Johnson's bankruptcy filings are an attempt to shield the company's assets and prevent cancer victims from receiving the compensation they deserve. The plaintiffs are seeking to hold Johnson & Johnson accountable for its alleged misconduct and ensure that those affected by its products receive proper restitution.
This latest legal battle adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding Johnson & Johnson's talc products and raises questions about corporate responsibility and accountability. As the lawsuits progress, the outcome could have significant implications for both the company and the individuals impacted by its products.
