Johnson & Johnson pakub ettevõtte kohtusse kaevanud tarbijatele 5,5 miljardit dollarit

Tuesday, 28 July 2026

USA tervishoiukontsern Johnson & Johnson teatas esmaspäeval, et pakub USA kohtutes esitatud umbes 69 000 hagi lahendamiseks kuni 5,5 miljardit dollarit. Hagides väidetakse, et ettevõtte beebipuuder ja muud talki sisaldavad tooted põhjustavad munasarjavähki, vahendas BBC News.

Ettepaneku jõustumiseks peavad selle heaks kiitma advokaadibürood, mis esindavad 95 protsenti osariikide ja föderaalkohtute munasarjavähi hagi nõuetest. Ettevõtte kohtuvaidluste asepresident Erik Haas ütles, et süüdistused on alusetud, kuid kokkulepe „võimaldab ettevõttel selle küsimuse seljataha jätta“.

J&J on korduvalt eitanud, et tema talki sisaldavad tooted põhjustasid vähki. Haas ütles, et ettevõte on kindel, et oleks edasistes kohtuvaidlustes lõpuks võitnud. „Uuringud näitavad, et talk on ohutu, ei sisalda asbesti ega põhjusta vähki,“ märkis J&J.

J&J talgipõhise beebipuudri üle hakati hagisid esitama juba 2009. aastal. Tarbijad ja nende lähedased on väitnud, et ettevõtte talki sisaldavad tooted põhjustasid vähki asbestiga saastumise tõttu. Talki kaevandatakse maapõuest ning seda leidub asbesti lähedastes kihtides.

J&J teatas 2022. aastal, et lõpetab talgipõhise beebipuudri tootmise ja müügi kogu maailmas, olles rohkem kui kaks aastat varem lõpetanud selle müügi USA-s. Ettevõte ütles toona, et otsustas üle minna täielikult maisitärklisel põhinevale beebipuudrite valikule.
