Message: <blockquote data-quote="lankan_godaya" data-source="post: 23416692" data-attributes="member: 562885">(CNN)After  8 hours of deliberations Thursday, a St. Louis jury awarded $4.69  billion to 22 women who sued pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson  alleging their ovarian cancer was caused by using its powder as a part  of their daily feminine hygiene routine. The  jury award includes $550 million in compensatory damages and $4.14  billion in punitive damages. It's the largest verdict against the  company that has sold Baby Powder and Shower to Shower brand talcum  powder for decades.The jurors sat through weeks of testimony listening to experts who  explained the complicated science, workers at Johnson & Johnson who  said their product was safe. They also heard from the cancer survivors  themselves and the loved ones of six plaintiffs who have died from their  cancer. This is not the first case brought  against the company, nor will it be the last. There are thousands of  cases currently making their way through court systems all around the  country. In five of the cases, women who sued have had a favorable  verdict. All of those cases are in various stages of appeal. A jury ruled in Johnson & Johnson's favor in one lawsuit in California last November. In October, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/23/health/johnson-and-johnson-talcum-powder-trial-verdict-overturned/index.html" target="_blank">a judge reversed</a>  two verdicts in favor of the company. A Missouri appeals court tossed  out a $55 million verdict in June citing jurisdictional issues.The science is still up for debate.
