In the US, a St Louis jury has awarded a Virginia woman a record-setting 110.5 million USD in the latest lawsuit alleging that using Johnson & Johnson's baby powder caused cancer. The jury ruling last night for 62-year-old Louis Slemp of Wise, Virginia, comes after three previous St. Louis juries awarded a total of 97 million USD to plaintiffs who made similar claims.<br/><br/>Slemp was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. It has since spread to her liver. She blamed her cancer on her use of the company's talcum-containing products for more than 40 years. About 2,000 women nationwide have filed similar suits over concerns about health damage caused by extended talcum powder use.<br/>
