Moore's family contended that Johnson & Johnson's talc-based baby powder contained asbestos fibres, leading to her cancer. The verdict includes $950 million in punitive damages, which Johnson & Johnson plans to appeal, describing it as "egregious and unconstitutional." Johnson & Johnson maintains its products are safe and do not cause cancer, having stopped selling talc-based baby powder in the US in 2020. The company faces over 67,000 lawsuits regarding its talc products and cancer, with this verdict being among the largest in mesothelioma cases.
