J&J to pay $700 million to settle states' talc-marketing probe
The settlement would avert potential lawsuits alleging J&J hid any links between the talc in its powder and various cancers, the report said citing people familiar with the deal. J&J and representatives for state attorneys general are still working out the specific terms of the deal but have agreed on the total amount, Bloomberg News reported. J&J did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
