美国地区法官 Michael Shipp 允许强生公司在 53,000 起诉讼中质疑滑石粉卵巢癌证据。 US District Judge Michael Shipp allows J&J to challenge talc-ovarian cancer evidence in 53,000 lawsuits.
强生 (J&J) 被允许质疑滑石粉与卵巢癌相关的科学证据，因为美国地区法官 Michael Shipp 做出了对强生有利的裁决，影响了针对该公司的 53,000 多起诉讼。 Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is allowed to challenge scientific evidence linking talc to ovarian cancer as U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp has ruled in favor of J&J, affecting over 53,000 lawsuits against the company. 该裁决是根据最近的法律和科学发展做出的，需要对证据进行新的评估。 The ruling follows recent legal and scientific developments necessitating a fresh evaluation of the evidence. 强生必须在 7 月 23 日之前就科学证据提出新的论点。 J&J has until July 23 to present renewed arguments regarding the scientific evidence. 另外，强生公司将支付 7500 万美元，以了结密西西比州就该公司滑石粉婴儿爽身粉提起的消费者保护诉讼，此前密西西比州因强生公司在近 50 年来未能警告消费者该爽身粉涉嫌癌症风险而提起诉讼。 Separately, J&J will pay $75 million to settle a consumer protection lawsuit filed by Mississippi over the company's talc-based baby powder, after the state sued over J&J's failure to warn consumers about the powder's alleged cancer risks over nearly a 50-year period.
