BLOG: Justice for Mesothelioma victims: Join the fight against Johnson & Johnson

Shockingly, despite the risks, Johnson & Johnson continued producing and selling its popular baby powder in the UK until 2022.

Mesothelioma, an extremely aggressive cancer, is one of the devastating consequences of this negligence. In the US, Johnson & Johnson has set aside more than $4bn for people diagnosed with mesothelioma. Cancer victims in the UK also deserve compensation.

If you or a loved one used Johnson & Johnson talc for over five years and developed pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, testicular mesothelioma, or any other form of cancer, you might be eligible for no-win, no-fee compensation.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the link between the use of talc and cancers. You don´t have to prove the link. Instead, our solicitors will work with medical experts to help make our case.

Asbestos support groups

In the UK, asbestos support groups provide crucial information, emotional support, and practical guidance for individuals and families dealing with asbestos-related diseases.

How asbestos support groups can help:

• Information and education. Support groups aim to educate individuals about asbestos-related diseases, including their causes, symptoms, and available treatment options. They provide information on asbestos exposure sources and prevention measures.
• Emotional support. Dealing with mesothelioma caused by talcum powder can be emotionally challenging for both patients and their loved ones. Support groups offer a compassionate and understanding environment where individuals can share their experiences, concerns, and emotions. They provide a platform for connecting with others who’ve gone through similar situations, fostering a sense of community and reducing feelings of isolation.
• Practical guidance. Support groups provide practical guidance on various aspects related to mesothelioma. This may include information on accessing healthcare services, understanding medical reports, and identifying available financial support and benefits.
• Advocacy and campaigning. Asbestos support groups often engage in advocacy efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure, promote stricter regulations, and campaign for improved healthcare services and support for affected individuals. They work to ensure that the voices of asbestos patients and their families are heard and that their rights are protected.
• Networking and events. Support groups organise meetings, events, and conferences where individuals affected by mesothelioma can come together, share knowledge, and build connections. These events may feature guest speakers, medical professionals, legal experts, and representatives from relevant organisations.
• Fundraising and research. Some support groups engage in fundraising activities to support research into asbestos-related diseases, facilitate clinical trials, and contribute to efforts aimed at finding better treatments or potential cures. Funds may also be used to support the group´s activities, including providing direct financial assistance to individuals and families in need.
