No US Supreme Court review of landmark talcum powder case

The US Supreme Court will not review a landmark talcum powder case which resulted in a multi-billion-dollar verdict out of Missouri. The case, Ingham v Johnson & Johnson (Missouri Court of Appeals – Eastern District, 23 June 2020), was originally decided in the City of St Louis and the original US$4.69 billion verdict is the largest talc-related verdict in history. An appellate court reduced the award to US$2.1 billion but the Missouri Supreme Court refused to review the case.
