A Minnesota jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $65.5 million to Anna Jean Houghton Carley, who developed mesothelioma after using their talcum powder. The jury found the company liable for selling asbestos-contaminated products without warning. Johnson & Johnson plans to appeal, maintaining their products are safe. This case adds to ongoing legal challenges over their talc products' alleged links to cancer, potentially impacting future lawsuits.
