01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in California?
2-year statute of limitations for personal injury with discovery rule. CLRA consumer protection claims carry a separate 3-year SOL and UCL claims a 4-year SOL. The discovery rule starts when the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered the link between talc use and cancer. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
California has an active and growing talcum powder docket with multiple trials ongoing. California’s strong consumer protection laws — including the Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and Unfair Competition Law (UCL) — provide additional causes of action beyond personal injury. The state’s 2-year SOL with discovery rule applies, with 3-year SOL for fraud claims.
California talcum powder cases are filed in the superior court of the county where the plaintiff resides or where J&J sells products. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Alameda, and Orange County superior courts handle the largest volume of product liability cases. Federal cases originating in California may be consolidated into MDL 2738 in New Jersey. California’s CLRA and UCL provide powerful consumer protection claims that may supplement personal injury theories.
