LTL&#8217;s first bankruptcy was dismissed in April after a U.S. appeals court ruled that it was not in sufficient financial distress to be eligible for bankruptcy protection.<\/p>\n<p>LTL quickly filed for bankruptcy again, arguing that its second effort has won more support from plaintiffs for a comprehensive settlement of current and future lawsuits alleging that J&amp;J&#8217;s baby powder and other talc products sometimes contained asbestos and caused mesothelioma, ovarian cancer and other cancers. J&amp;J has said its talc products are safe and do not contain asbestos.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys representing cancer victims, along with the U.S. Justice Department&#8217;s bankruptcy watchdog, had called for LTL&#8217;s second bankruptcy to be dismissed as an abuse of U.S. bankruptcy law.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Birchfield, an attorney who represents cancer victims, said the second bankruptcy was meant to keep the talc lawsuits from being heard by juries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;J&amp;J has spent two years trying to convince us that somehow a company worth a half-trillion dollars is bankrupt,&#8221; Birchfield said. &#8220;It&#8217;s time for the nonsense to stop and for J&amp;J to accept responsibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>J&amp;J argued that the proposed bankruptcy settlement offers a fairer and faster resolution for cancer claimants than litigation in other courts. J&amp;J compared recent trials to a &#8220;lottery&#8221; in which some litigants receive large awards and others get nothing. It said the costs of its talc-related verdicts, settlements and legal fees have reached about $4.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiffs&#8217; lawyers who opposed the $8.9 billion offer said J&amp;J had created the &#8220;illusion&#8221; of support by signing deals with plaintiffs&#8217; lawyers who quickly signed up large numbers of clients without ever filing any lawsuits against J&amp;J.<\/p>\n<p>By settling the lawsuits in bankruptcy, J&amp;J could cram down the settlement terms on cancer victims opposed to the deal, and prevent new lawsuits from being filed by people who develop cancer in the future as a result of their talc use, according to lawyers opposed to the deal.<\/p>\n<p>LTL&#8217;s bankruptcy proceedings have largely paused the 38 000 lawsuits that were filed before October 2021. Kaplan allowed one case to proceed to trial during LTL&#8217;s second bankruptcy, resulting in an $18.8 million verdict in favour of a California man who said he developed cancer from exposure to J&amp;J baby powder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
