California man tells jury of getting cancer after using J&J baby powder
A California man suing Johnson & Johnson told jurors on Monday how his life was upended by a cancer diagnosis that he blames on using the company's baby powder since childhood, as the first trial over the product in nearly two years neared its end. "I just turned into a scared little kid," Emory Hernandez, fighting back tears, said of his 2022 mesothelioma diagnosis while testifying in Alameda County Superior Court, according to an online broadcast of the trial by Courtroom View Network. J&J has denied that its baby powder contained asbestos or causes cancer.
