J&J faces 1st UK lawsuits for concealing cancer risks in baby powder
Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is facing the first lawsuits in UK over allegations that its talcum products cause cancer. This comes as it is already fighting tens of thousands of similar claims in the US. Around 3,000 people in UK have accused the company of knowingly selling baby powder contaminated with asbestos, which is linked to deadly cancers.
