Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $75 million to settle a consumer protection lawsuit filed by Mississippi over the company’s talc-based baby powder. This settlement resolves litigation in which the state had sought as much as $6 billion. The agreement comes as lawyers for the state and Johnson & Johnson were preparing for a non-jury trial in Jackson, Mississippi. Mississippi was one of only two states to file suit over Johnson & Johnson’s marketing of its baby powder.
