Seeger Weiss founding partner Christopher Seeger has been appointed Plaintiffs’ Lead Negotiation Counsel in the Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder Litigation by the Honorable Judge Rukhsanah L. Singh of the District of New Jersey.
The multidistrict litigation includes nearly 60,000 pending cases of women who developed ovarian cancer after using Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder, Shower to Shower, and other talcum powder products. The court has scheduled an initial mediation session for September 4, 2025.
“It is an honor to be appointed to lead negotiations for the tens of thousands of women harmed by Johnson & Johnson’s talc products,” said Seeger. “After more than a decade of litigation, these plaintiffs deserve an advocate who will work tirelessly to finally secure a just resolution with meaningful compensation, and that is exactly what they will get.”
Chris Seeger has led some of the most complex, groundbreaking, and high-profile litigations in the U.S. He has worked to secure historic settlements exceeding $50 billion in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation and achieving a landmark $6 billion resolution in the 3M Combat Arms Earplug Litigation. Additional major victories include a $1.075 billion settlement in the Philips CPAP Litigation, a $4.85 billion Vioxx settlement, and a $1 billion-plus uncapped settlement in the NFL concussion case.
One of the nation’s preeminent plaintiffs’ law firms, Seeger Weiss is best known for multidistrict mass torts and class actions in both state and federal court—and especially for taking those cases to trial. With the resources and dedication to take on the world’s largest corporations, the firm has an impressive track record of victories against companies like Merck, Monsanto, and 3M—and a reputation for sticking with a case from beginning to end. From offices in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the firm has represented over 10,000 individuals, companies, and governments across the United States who have been injured or defrauded on a massive scale. Since its founding in 1999, it has led many of the most complex and high-profile cases in the country: the National Prescription Opiate Litigation, which the Washington Post called “the largest federal court case in U.S. history”; the “Dieselgate” scandal; the sprawling multistate litigation on behalf of survivors of child sexual abuse; and the history-making National Football League Players’ Concussion Injury Litigation.
