The latest trial over claims that Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ.N) talc products cause cancer ended in a mistrial on Tuesday, as a Florida state court jury said it could not agree on a verdict.
The lawsuit was brought by Bob Sugarman, who said that J&J's talc-based baby powder led his wife to develop ovarian cancer and die from the disease.
J&J said in a statement after the mistrial that its baby powder "is safe, does not contain asbestos and does not cause cancer."
Lance Oliver, a lawyer for Sugarman, said the verdict was "disappointing" but that it was "part of the system," and that he expected the case would be retried in the near future.
J&J faces more than 50,000 lawsuits over talc, most by women with ovarian cancer, with a minority of the cases involving people with mesothelioma, a type of cancer associated with asbestos exposure.
