Johnson & Johnson statement to Axios, Oct. 11, 2019
“Strong trust is essential, especially in health care. We care deeply care about what
consumers think and feel about our company. We work to earn that trust every day. Our
reputation remains strong because of our products that soothe skin, treat cancer, repair
broken bones and stop the spread of HIV and Ebola. This is what the world relies upon
us to deliver, and is the foundation of our reputation. Consumers know we’ll never stop
doing that.”

Regarding the cases:

“Litigation in the US is big business, and almost every industry has been a target for
plaintiffs’ attorneys. Our wins – we won two talc cases just this week – and the reversals
of headline-creating judgments, just don’t garner the same level of attention as the
rulings we saw in Philadelphia. We’ve navigated our way through these challenges in
the past and will do so again, because the facts in these cases are on our side.”
