01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in New Jersey?
2-year statute of limitations for personal injury with discovery rule. The clock starts when the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered that their cancer was caused by talcum powder. New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act claims may carry a separate SOL and provide treble damages. 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?
New Jersey is the federal MDL venue for talcum powder litigation. MDL 2738 is housed in the District of New Jersey under Judge Michael Shipp (succeeding Judge Freda Wolfson, who retired). J&J’s corporate headquarters in New Brunswick give New Jersey courts personal jurisdiction over the primary defendant. State court cases are filed in the Superior Court of the county where the plaintiff resides or where J&J conducts business.
