Both decisions benefited plaintiffs harmed by using Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder DALLAS, May 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National plaintiffs firm Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP, has been recognized by ALM and for securing two of the largest jury verdicts of 2024. Both cases involved claims against pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) over its talc-based Baby Powder, which exposed users to asbestos, a known carcinogen.

Jurors awarded $60 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages after finding that Johnson & Johnson knowingly sold asbestos-contaminated products. The firm also recorded the 82nd-ranked verdict, a $63 million judgment awarded in South Carolina to Michael Perry, a longtime hospitality professional diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma also linked to Johnson & Johnson's talc powder. The jury awarded $32.6 million in compensatory damages and $30.7 million in punitive damages. "These cases reflect the power of the jury system and the importance of holding even the most powerful corporations accountable," said Trey Branham, a partner at Dean Omar Branham Shirley.
