Colgate-Palmolive Settles Another Mesothelioma Lawsuit
Introduction
Colgate-Palmolive recently announced to settle a lawsuit filed by a 67-year-old man who claims asbestos in Colgate's talcum powder caused his mesothelioma. This confidential settlement saved the case from going to trial in California Superior Court in Los Angeles.
Late last year another lawsuit, which was set for trial in New Jersey Superior Court was settled for an undisclosed amount, and back in 2015, a plaintiff who developed mesothelioma due to Colgate's talc-based product was awarded $13 million as damages. However, Colgate-Palmolive continues to deny the presence of asbestos in their talcum products and has not yet admitted liability in any of the cases against them.
