Awarding $95 million to each plaintiff is too much.
Why do you think it's a punishment? You want them to give them a slap on the wrist?
Maybe if a product gave you cancer, then you would realize there's no monetary figure that equals your health and
Wellbeing.

You cannot tell if a product gave you cancer since there is no control.
There was contamination in some of their products and the opportunists pounced on it.

It is a myth that there is no monetary value that is equal to health.
I take it that you aren't familiar with human psychology and haven't met many people.
People will swallow poison for the right price.

You dont know what's going on

Hahahaha grin
I didn't expect a different reaction.
Everyone is an expert these days after watching some YouTube videos made by a teenager.

Since you know what is going, the question remains:
Why are you even using a phone despite knowing that radiation can kill you?
How about the match, lighter, and gas you use for cooking?
I hope you don't have plastics in your house, it is very deadly grin

And all Europeans are them!!

USA , UK, and all great Britain are thier children

And na black people come get good heart?

Asbestos is not in talcum madam, where did you get that from?
Stop lying to gain customers!
Eulalia:
shocked

You see?? That's the problem. Whe n you advise people to stop using all these chemical riddled products and learn how to make safe organic products for their babies they'll not listen. Thinking the big cosmetic names are the best.

All talcum powders are highly toxic because of the presence of Asbestos in talcum a substance used as a base for making white powder. Imagine an infant constantly inhaling such poison every now and then.including adults.

Its not too late now for intending mothers and lovers of white powder to join our ongoing online organic skin care training to learn how to make safe products for your households and the little darlings.

Other countries should pick up from where the case stopped to get damages, and stop the sale in their domain too.

Well, maybe you will swallow poison for money, but leave those who won't to take compensation for damages. I have had health issues in the past that no amount of money can bribe me to remain that way. Wait till you're truly sick and you'll realize how worthless the figures are at that moment.

Not good at all! Johnson & Johnson, why now? Generations of mothers have trusted their products and many of us Nigerians too, grew up using their baby products. Social Media will ensure that even if they attempt continue to sell their US banned products overseas, these products will be flagged. Just goes to show that at the end of the day, natural products like pure shea butter are safer. These days, mothers don't even use talcum powder after nappy changes anymore.

Really? Asbestos still being sold in Nigeria?

But with Donnie Trump, he's anti deep state and political cronyism except with his wall-street friends.
Can you stop deluding yourself with this Trump BS, many "class action" cases like this have been won against high profile companies like Johnson & Johnson since ages past.

Do you know when the word "Mass Tort" began?.

All the i-can't-do-without-my-Fanta gangs need to be really careful because there's no serious level of consumer protection or rights in Nigeria.
More reason I tell those young enough to make the switch to bailout of there. someday soon, Naija will sort itself but don't let it kill you before then.

Reading product labels saves one a lot of health stress.

Keep staying safe.

Xisnin:

Cancer doesn't mean what you think it does.
Cancer is not a single disease.
There are about one hundred cancer types and even two people with the
the same type often experiences different progressions.

Having some cancer types is even medically better than having severe malaria.
But a class action suit and penalty as in this case, is determinant on severalty of the case and I believe the cancer type must be terminal.

You are contradicting yourself.
If no money is enough to compensate health, why did these victims ask for billions?
They obviously know the value of money

Wait till you're truly sick and you'll realize how worthless the figures are at that moment.
This is a fallacious argument.
Paying people to harm themselves is different from paying people to remain in harm.
Both can be achieved with the right motivations but they are not equal.
