Judge Rejects J&J's Third Bankruptcy Attempt, Allowing Ovarian Cancer Lawsuits to Proceed

Johnson & Johnson's latest attempt to use the "Texas Two-Step" legal maneuver to manage lawsuits through bankruptcy has been rejected by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez. The proposed settlement was dismissed due to issues with the claimants' voting process and its attempt to extend legal protections to non-debtor entities without full consent. This development has reopened the doors for litigation, with the Nachawati Law Group filing new lawsuits on behalf of women who claim they developed cancer from J&J's talc-based products. The rejection signals a restart in legal proceedings, as over 50,000 women allege cancer diagnoses from the company's products, with courts across the country preparing to handle one of the largest mass torts in U.S. history.
