Stephen Lanzo, 46, a New Jersey investment banker, sued Johnson & Johnson, claiming its talcum powder products he used for over 30 years gave him mesothelioma.
近日,美国新泽西州的46岁投资银行家史蒂芬·兰佐起诉强生公司,称他因三十多年来一直使用该公司的滑石爽身粉产品而患上间皮瘤。
The suit brought by Lanzo and his wife Kendra claims the cosmetics giant and its supplier knew the powder could contain cancer-causing asbestos but failed to warn the public.
兰佐及妻子肯德拉指控化妆品巨头强生和其供应商,在明知该粉末可能含有致癌物质石棉的情况下却未向公众发出警告。
The jury agreed with Lanzo. Johnson & Johnson was liable for 70% of the damages, with the other 30% coming from the supplier. Lanzo was awarded $30 million, and his wife $7 million.
陪审团支持兰佐的控诉,判决强生公司对此案件负70%的责任,滑石粉供应商负30%的责任,兰佐获赔3000万美元,其妻获赔700万美元。
The ruling could leave the company open to further bombshell payouts.
这一判决可能使强生公司接下来面临更多突如其来的索赔。
Talcum powder is made from talc, a soft mineral found in deposits often located near asbestos deposits. Studies have shown that there is a risk of cross-contamination during mining.
爽身粉是由滑石制成的,这种矿物质通常位于石棉沉积物附近。而有研究表明,滑石在开采过程中存在与石棉交叉污染的风险。
