Three years ago, a New Jersey couple sued Johnson & Johnson for $117 million dollars because they believe the company’s talcum powder caused the husband to develop mesothelioma due to the presence of asbestos.

However, according to a recent My Central Jersey article, the case has been overturned, and new trials were ordered.
