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.

It need not be terminal.
It just must have caused serious harm to the victim's life.

I am not against the judgement in principle.
The penalty is just too severe given the circumstances.

If you hang a pickpocket, what then is the penalty for a murderer?

Hmmmm

Anyway if go through many class action suits and mass Tort cases in the US most part of Europe, you will find out there is a sever penalty to situations like for defaulting companies who knowingly or unknowingly add substances to a product which causes any form of harm to the end user. I believe Johnson & Johnson knows this and should have taken necessary corrective measures in the clinical trials of the product.

That USA for you but no they will only bill the company what they can afford

How I wish this can happen in Nigeria, . But Nigeria is far behind, and Nafdac here is not helping issues at all . It saddens my heart. . Lots of prohibited goods and dangerous materials are out there, ppl consuming it, with ignorance, it saddens my heart.
Painful part it that, u will get to pharmacy stores still see those deadly materials . Drinks containing poisonous chemicals, you will still see endorsed by etc... Jesus, I weak.
Pls pals, when buying body things, be careful of chemicals like: steroids, mercury, hydroquinone, Talc etc.
Drinks, be careful of (Aspertame). Etc, I won't say more than this. I pray is shall be well with us all, amen.
Shalom

NAFDAC died and was buried the day Dora Akunyili died and was buried my dear sister

It'll continue to sell the product all over the world?

They should sue that company all over the world.

Yes they will continue selling it to shithole countries like Nigeria

Most cases of a successful class action is that of deliberate action or omission.
This is different.
This case is that of contamination of naturally-occurring talc with asbestos from the mine.
One of the unintended consequences of this action is the added "risk" cost to consumer products.

Xisnin:

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


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.

The judge could have awarded a million dollars to each person and that would be change for the corporation. You obviously didn't bother to read the stuff. I value my health and well-being so much that i won't consider a monetary reward for self harm. You on the other hand has a dollar valuation on every part of your body and health. That's your cup of tea.

If It was in Nigeria, they would have only paid about N75m

When they say "for external use only" you won't read instructions

I see a lot of women use it on their v*gina and arm pits.... including my mum...and I keep warning them

Hmmm , this serious...got to know abt this powder from my sis,she used them on kids way bk

BigBashiru:


Really? Asbestos still being sold in Nigeria?

Wait this is a shock to you?? Most public classroom ceilings are still being made with asbestos naa.

... so who will now collect the money? Govt or consumers? Govt is nothing but a criminal circle.

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

Do your findings before coming here to argue what you dont know. I'm into production so I can tell you it contains asbestos which has been found to contain carcinogenic compounds.

women wey dey use atike on their face !

Does that exclude all their products?.... My baby uses Johnsons products.. Soap,Powder, Oil and creams..

Tell us the unsafe ones apart from the powder...

You are actually correct, apologies. Just checked.
I knew asbestos was deadly but wouldn't have thought talc products would still be sold even after people know.
Really strange stuff.

Its OK dear.
We learn everyday.

It has actually been banned in some European countries but its still been highly sold in Nigeria because no strong regulatory body checkmating the cosmetics sector. So anything goes.

I'm sure Johnson would.have been parading their products as natural or the FDA trusted them so much not to dabble into such hence didn't check their products for any possible toxic materials that is why it's been in the market unnoticed for long until now. I wonder what they've been thinking all along.

The US Johnson version is overly hyped though. I'm surprised they are having this issues.

oh

Hello, evening, I don't know much, cuz I use organic products.. buy kojic acid, is a natural acid, it will be safe for skin..

Lol,
World of hypocrites

Are they just aware that they r producing killer powders?

Just like some people worship billgates

These white people are very wicked

They don't have a good heart, that's how God created them

They r the children of the devil, the fallen angels

And all Europeans are them!!

USA , UK, and all great Britain are thier children

See as u resemble yorubakingpin

Between 30%-33% of the award will be collected by the plaintiffs’ attorneys, while the rest goes to the plaintiffs

Better not let the millions of Oyinbo worshipping Nigerians come for your head. How dare you write bad things about their slave masters who can’t do anything wrong.
