On Friday, an Illinois Court ruled pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson, along with Kevnue, must pay $45 million to a family that alleged talcum-based baby powder produced by the companies led to the death of a family member.

In July 2020, Theresa Garcia died after being diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a cancer that is commonly connected to asbestos exposure,

In the lawsuit, the family of Garcia claimed that Garcia used the talcum-based baby powder every day, and it’s what led to her cancer diagnosis.

The law firm representing Garcia’s family was able to provide evidence that teh baby powder Garcia used every day “contained asbestos fibers”.

The jury concluded Kenvue, the former consumer healthcare division of Johnson & Johnson, was 70% responsible for Garcia’s issues, and Johnson & Johnson was found liable for 30%.

Here’s what Forbes reported:

An Illinois court late Friday ordered pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue to pay $45 million to a family that alleged the companies’ talcum-based baby powder led to the death of a relative diagnosed with a fatal cancer linked to asbestos exposure, the company’s latest legal issue involving talc products.

Theresa Garcia died in July 2020 after being diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer frequently connected to asbestos exposure, and her family filed a lawsuit alleging that Garcia’s frequent use of the companies’ talcum-based baby powder led to her diagnosis, according to a news release from legal firm Dean Omar Branham Shirley, which represented the family.

The firm’s news release said that throughout the case attorneys showed evidence that the products “contained asbestos fibers” and experts “explained that the daily use and amount inhaled by Ms. Garcia throughout her life led to her mesothelioma.”

The jury found that Kenvue, the former consumer healthcare division of the pharmaceutical giant that became an independent company in August 2023, was responsible for 70% of the issues that led to Garcia’s death while Johnson & Johnson and another unit were responsible for the remaining 30%, according to the release.

J&J’s Worldwide Vice President of Litigation Erik Haas said in a statement the company plans to appeal Friday’s ruling immediately and expects to be successful, going on to say: “The verdict in this trial is irreconcilable with the decades of independent scientific evaluations confirming talc is safe, does not contain asbestos, and does not cause cancer.”

Here’s what NJ BIZ reported:

Johnson & Johnson and its consumer health spinoff, Kenvue, were ordered to pay $45 million to the family of an Illinois woman who alleged the companies’ talcum-based baby powder gave her a fatal cancer.

Following a trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Ill., a jury concluded April 19 that Kenvue was 70% responsible for the death of Theresa Garcia. The mother of six and grandmother died four years ago after developing mesothelioma.

Johnson & Johnson Holdco Inc., a subsidiary of the New Brunswick-based pharmaceutical and medical technologies company, was found responsible for the remaining 30%, according to a press release from Dean Omar Branham Shirley. That law firm represented the woman’s family.

J&J Enters $9 BILLION Baby Cancer Settlement — How To Keep Your Family SAFE!

This is gonna make you sick, at least if you have ever had babies….and ever used Baby Powder on them from J&J.

According to new reports, it was alleged that the Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder caused cancer (how nice) and now the company is proposing paying out $8.9 BILLION to settle those claims.

We should be clear a settlement is not an admission of guilt or liability but it sure doesn’t look good!

Watch this short clip:

From the NY Times:

From Axios:

Johnson & Johnson said Tuesday it’s offering up to $8.9 billion to resolve lawsuits accusing the company of selling baby powder that caused cancer — an allegation that J&J has repeatedly denied.

Why it matters: J&J faces tens of thousands of lawsuits from people and their survivors related to the company’s talc-based powder.

Driving the news: J&J disclosed the offer Tuesday in connection with its decision to re-file its subsidiary LTL Management in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals in January dismissed the original Chapter 11 petition made by LTL, the subsidiary J&J created for the purpose of housing its talc liabilities and filing for bankruptcy.
Details: The $8.9 billion in payments to alleged victims would be paid over 25 years “to resolve all the current and future talc claims,” J&J said in a statement.

The company, which originally offered $2 billion, said it “has secured commitments from over 60,000 current claimants” to support the deal.
J&J noted that it is not admitting wrongdoing — but fighting the cases “would take decades and impose significant costs” with “most claimants never receiving any compensation,” said J&J’s worldwide vice president of litigation, Erik Haas.

What they’re saying: Law firms representing what they described as a majority of the victims released a statement saying their clients are supporting the proposed deal.

“This settlement will provide expeditious, substantial and fair compensation to claimants who cannot afford to wait any longer for a resolution,” the victims’ representatives said Tuesday in a statement.

Makes me absolutely sick to think parents had no idea.

What is wrong with these companies???

Keep reading, I have a very important announcement for you below on what YOU can do to keep you and your family and your kids safe!  So important!  

More on that in just a minute below…

I love what Chris Greene says here, he’s spot on:

Think it’s just a one-off situation?

Just an “accident”?

Sorry folks, it’s happening ALL OVER THE PLACE with these big companies.

From Baby Powder we move to Spices.

Think the Spice Rack is safe?

Not unless you like eating literal rat poison!

For real, check this out:

WARNING: Arsenic, Cadmium, and Lead Found In Major Brand Name Spices!

Heads up folks!

This is a major consumer products alert…

Do you love to cook with spices?

Of course, who doesn’t?

Variety is the spice of life, and spices are the, uhhhh, spice of cooking!

But what happens when you reach for the Onion Powder or the Oregano, and along with those you get a heavy dose of Arsenic?

Arsenic would otherwise be known as literal “rat poison”.

Or Cadmium, which is a heavy metal.

Or Lead!

You know how we can no longer use lead-based-paint or leaded gasoline because of how toxic it is to humans?

What if the big companies had been putting it in your spices all along and you didn’t even know?

What if one of the reasons you constantly feel tired, slow and unmotivated is because you’re slowly being poisoned by what you eat?

It’s a Red Alert 🚨 situation, and I’m here to not only give you the bad news but also to give you a solution!

I never like to leave you with only the bad news, so keep reading and I’ll give you the solution to fix this for yourself and your family.

Check this out:

Literally poisoning Americans:

Maybe you’re not just tired, maybe you’re being slowly poisoned like that one episode of Dateline I saw where the woman poisoned her husband by feeding him small doses of antifreeze each day for a whole year.

Anyone else see that episode?

Except the wife is played by the Big Consumer Goods Companies that hate you and you’re the dying husband.

Sorry folks, I’m not making this stuff up, I’m just reporting the news.

According to this report, OVER ONE-THIRD of 126 large big-brand products tested had EXCESSIVE heavy metal levels:

FOUR Lawsuits have been filed already:

From Popular Mechanics:

In new research, Consumer Reports tested a total of 126 products from stores like Walmart and Trader Joe’s and found that 40 “had high enough levels of arsenic, lead, and cadmium combined, on average, to pose a health concern for children when regularly consumed in typical serving sizes.” Beyond big-brand names like McCormick and private labels, the offenders also include spices and herbs from the beloved Wauwatosa, Wisconsin-based brand Penzeys.

It’s important to note that there is no safe amount of lead, especially for children. That’s because our bodies don’t have a way to digest heavy metals, so they can easily accumulate in the body, physically interfering with other processes. (Remember when Entourage’s Jeremy Piven blamed a public outburst on mercury poisoning because he’d been subsisting on only sushi?)

“In children, [lead] can affect brain development, increasing the risk for behavioral problems and lower IQ,” Consumer Reports explains in the report, published last month. “In adults, it can contribute to central nervous system problems, reproductive problems, and hypertension, and can damage kidney and immune function.”

Lead in foodstuffs is usually tested through a standard protocol laid out by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), known colloquially as “EAM 4.7.” EAM stands for Elemental Analysis Manual for Food and Related Products. “This resource serves as a reference, for analysts at the FDA and around the world, providing not only general analytical information and procedures and detailed laboratory methods, but also helpful notes from analysts’ experiences using these methods,” the FDA explains online. In this testing, an acid chemically “digests” foods before they’re fed through a mass spectrometer machine that identifies the chemical signatures of different elements.

Which Herbs and Spices Contained High Levels of Lead?

Consumer Reports tested a total of 126 products across 38 brands, using two or three samples for each product. They ranked products from least to most concerning with the following system: no concern, some concern, moderate concern, and high concern. Here are the products that ranked as moderate or high concern:

  • La Flor Ground Oregano
  • La Flor Ground Turmeric
  • Happy Belly (Amazon) Ground Thyme
  • Spice Islands Sweet Basil
  • Tone’s Ground Thyme

And from Consumer Reports:

Roughly one-third of the tested products, 40 in total, had high enough levels of arsenic, lead, and cadmium combined, on average, to pose a health concern for children when regularly consumed in typical serving sizes. Most raised concern for adults, too.

For two herbs, thyme and oregano, all the products we tested had levels that CR experts say are concerning.

In 31 products, levels of lead were so high that they exceeded the maximum amount anyone should have in a day, according to CR’s experts.

When people think about heavy metals in their diet it’s probably the lead in their drinking water. But our tests show that dried herbs and spices can be a surprising, and worrisome, source.

Also troubling: There was no single predictor of which products contained higher levels of heavy metals—for example, brand name didn’t matter, and neither did “organic” or “packed in USA” claims.

Now, as I promised….let’s talk solutions.

I NEVER leave you with just the problem.

You know I’ve got the solution!

In fact, this is EXACTLY why I started my new Mission back in February.

The new mission is simply this: to help build out the Parallel-Economy.

Because here’s what I realized…

You THINK you have a choice between all these companies listed below in the circle, but what most people don’t realize is they’re all owned by only 11 companies.  

11.

Interesting number.

Will probably be even less than that in the future when these merge even further.

It’s an ILLUSION of choice.

The same goes for all your media…

It’s just an ILLUSION of different choices, but owned by these 6 companies:

Now back to my Mission and my solution.

I figured I would eventually need to build a Parallel-Economy from the ground up.

I knew that would be a ton of work.

So it was on my back-burner.

In fact, it had been there on my back-burner since about 2016.

Until suddenly, in January of 2023, I connected with a company I had never heard of before….but they’re MASSIVE.

They’ve been in business for over 35 years and they’re a VERY pro-American, pro-Liberty, pro-Conservative values company!

They’re an American based, Made-In-America, warehoused-in-America, shipped-from-America company!

In fact, they’re the last private, family-owned, pro-American consumer goods company left in America NOT owned by those 11 companies I showed you above.

Oh, and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER than what you get from those 11 companies above?

Yes, for real.

And their founder was once placed on Barack Hussein Obama’s list of the Top 10 most “Dangerous Conservatives” in America?

(a list I one day hope to make myself!)

Once I learned all of that, I knew I no longer had to build this from the ground-up by myself, I simply needed to partner with this awesome company to help them get the word out.

So on top of being the last Family-owned major consumer goods manufacturer not part of the Big-11, comparable or often lower prices, supporting American jobs and families, here’s the part that ties in to the main point of this article”.

Non-toxic products!

That means no Arsenic, Cadmium, and Lead in their Spices!

Which really, if we’re being honest, should be the bare minimum for everyone, right?

Stunning I even have to tell you that, but I guess I do!

But it also means no Red Dye 40 or flouride in the toothpaste or chemicals in the cleaning products, or Deet in the mosquito repellant.

What novel concepts, right?

Oh, and Black Angus beef, pasture raised on hundreds of thousands of acres.

Free roaming with plenty of open air between all the cattle.

Grass fed.

No hormones and no antibiotics.  Never!

Oh, and it’s CHEAPER than Omaha Steaks!

But that’s a whole other topic!

Sound good to anyone else?

Me too!

The reason you’ve never heard of them is because it’s Invite Only.

I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.

They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!

They’ve been doing it for 37 years and it’s been working great.

Everyone gets a personal, white glove, concierge customer service support to get you access to everything they have.

Imagine that!

No call centers from India.

Just real, friendly, helpful and NICE Americans helping Americans!

Wow, like going back in a time-machine.

So it is Invite only…and good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me!).

I’m so excited about all of this and I’m hosting two gatherings this coming Tuesday and Saturday to tell you all about it.  I hope you can join me?

There’s only one pro-American, American made and manufactured, chemical free, toxin free, hormone free, company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!

Who’s with me?

Watch this:

Backup here if that doesn’t play:

As I said, it’s Invite Only and the invite is completely free!

In fact, I’ve assembled a team of patriots who will personally get you invited and signed up….if you want in.

Americans Helping Americans.

Patriots Helping Patriots.

It’s called “Patriot Switch” and I think the name says it all.

Folks, we don’t have many strongholds left.

This is one.

And I’m all in.

Join me this coming Tuesday at 8:30pm Eastern, 7:30pm Central here:  JOIN ON TUESDAY

And make sure you ask about the Black Angus beef too!

Your friend,

– Noah
