J&J Talc Evidence Gets Review by Ex-Judge at Drugmaker Law Firm

Freda Wolfson was appointed earlier this summer to re-examine how experts analyzed some scientific evidence on the link between J&J's talc-based powder and cancer. She has deep expertise after conducting a similar inquiry while overseeing suits accusing J&J of hiding its baby powder's health risks.
