Where to File in Florida
Florida talcum powder cases are filed in the circuit court of the county where the plaintiff resides or where J&J sells products. Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough (Tampa), and Palm Beach circuit courts handle the largest volume of product liability cases. The recent reduction of Florida’s personal injury SOL from 4 years to 2 years makes prompt filing essential. Federal cases from Florida are typically consolidated into MDL 2738 in New Jersey.
