In 2016, yet another lawsuit was filed alleging that its plaintiff developed mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos-contaminated talcum powder products. Similar lawsuits have been filed across the country in the past five years.
Stephen Lanzo was diagnosed with mesothelioma on July 27, 2016, which he believes was caused by his exposure to asbestos in the talcum powder products he used by Johnson & Johnson.
According to the Complaint, Lanzo was “frequently exposed to asbestos-containing talc powder products” sold by Johnson & Johnson “since his birth,” which “generated dust and exposed him to respirable asbestos fibers.”
Lanzo’s attorneys argue that the Defendants should be held responsible for the following actions:
- Marketing and selling “an ultra-hazardous product”
- Failing to warn the general public about “the dangers of asbestos exposure”
- Spreading “false product safety information”
We will continue to monitor the legal literature concerning asbestos-contaminated talc cases in general, and Stephen Lanzo III and Kendra Lanzo v. Cyprus Amax Minerals Co., et al. in particular.
