Hopefully the judge doesn’t just toss the suit, but sanctions J&J for this. Fuck everything about this suit.

What? Asbestos is well known to cause mesothelioma. What the hell is this suit based on other than bullshit?
Talc is not asbestos.
True, but ...
One particular issue with commercial use of talc is its frequent co-location in underground deposits with asbestos ore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talc
Ah
Streisand effect comes to mind here.
They're not putting this toothpaste back in the tube, so maybe start designing a better tube you numbnuts.
Truly disgusting conduct from J & J.
It really seems like a fishing expedition as they are claiming that 'some or all' of the patients in the studies were 'exposed to asbestos from other sources' (instead of J&J? in addition to J&J? its not clear) - but then they are asking the patients identities be disclosed - so how could they know that?
They want to attack and harass and discredit the patients themselves now.
J&J is trying to sue facts. If they win, it'd set a precedent for other companies to sue and win with their own truth. Fuck J&J up their stupid asses.
