Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to pay $417 milion to a woman who says she developed ovarian cancer after using products such as baby powder.
The California jury's decision marks the largest award yet in a string of lawsuits that claim the firm did not adequately warn about cancer risks from talc‑based products.
A spokeswoman for Johnson & Johnson defended the products' safety.
Carol Goodrich, spokesperson for Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc said in a statement that the firm plans to appeal, as it has in previous cases.
The evidence around any link between talc use and cancer is inconclusive.
