The third trial in a New Jersey mass tort claiming links between Johnson & Johnson’s talc products and mesothelioma got underway Monday in Middlesex County Superior Court, a few blocks from the company’s New Brunswick headquarters.
Jurors in the case will consider a suit by a plaintiff who was diagnosed with mesothelioma and attributes his illnesses to decades of use of Johnson’s baby powder. The plaintiff, Ricardo Rimondi of Brentwood, New York, is represented by a team from the Lanier Law firm consisting of Monica Cooper, Mark Linder, Joseph Cotilletta and Luz Restrepo.
