Tamoxifen Citrate: Jury awards $72million 
in lawsuit linking Johnson & Johnson baby 
powder containing talcum to ovarian cancer 
  • Pharmaceutical giant was ordered to pay the family of Jacqueline Salter Fox $10million in actual damages and $62million in punitive damages 
  • Fox lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 2015 at age 62
  • Her lawsuit stated she used Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder for more than 35 years before being diagnosed with ovarian cancer
There are more than 1,000 cases nationally against the company, and fox's was the first one to result in monetary award  
A St. Louis jury has awarded $72million to the family of an Alabama woman who sued Johnson & Johnson claiming she developed terminal ovarian cancer after using its baby powder and other products containing talcum.
The civil suit by Jacqueline Salter Fox, of Birmingham, was part of a broader Missouri claim involving nearly 60 people. Her son Marvin took over as plaintiff following his mother's death in October 2015 at age 62. 
Fox's attorneys said the jury verdict Monday night was the first such case among more than 1,000 nationally to result in a monetary award.
Lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson claim that in an effort to boost sales, the pharmaceutical giant failed for decades to warn consumers that its talc-based products could cause cancer.
The jury said that Ms Fox was entitled to $10million in actual damages and $62million in punitive damages.
A Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman said Tuesday that the New Jersey-based company was considering whether to appeal the verdict.
Jacqueline Fox claimed in her complaint that she used Baby Powder and Shower to Shower for feminine hygiene for more than 35 years before being diagnosed three years ago with ovarian cancer.
Jurors in the circuit court of St. Louis on Monday night found Johnson & Johnson liable for fraud, negligence and conspiracy, the family's lawyers said. Deliberations lasted four hours, following a three-week trial.
Jere Beasley, a lawyer for Fox's family, said Johnson & Johnson 'knew as far back as the 1980s of the risk,' and yet resorted to 'lying to the public, lying to the regulatory agencies.'
In October 2013, a federal jury in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, found that plaintiff Deane Berg's use of Johnson & Johnson's body powder products was a factor in her developing ovarian cancer at age 49. Nevertheless, it awarded no damages, court records show.
Carol Goodrich, a Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman, said: 'We have no higher responsibility than the health and safety of consumers, and we are disappointed with the outcome of the trial. We sympathize with the plaintiff's family but firmly believe the safety of cosmetic talc is supported by decades of scientific evidence.'
