Thousands of people are taking legal action against pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson, claiming it knowingly sold asbestos-contaminated talcum powder in the UK.

As many as 3,000 people have alleged that either they or a family member developed forms of ovarian cancer or mesothelioma from using Johnson’s Baby Powder, and are seeking damages at the High Court in London. A spokesperson for Kenvue, which was formerly part of Johnson & Johnson, said the talc complied with regulations and did not cause cancer.
