02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
New York has an active talcum powder docket with a 3-year statute of limitations — longer than most states. The state’s large population, significant plaintiff base, and strong consumer protection laws make it a major jurisdiction in the litigation. New York courts have experience with complex mass tort and asbestos cases, and the state’s General Business Law provides additional consumer protection theories.
New York talcum powder cases are filed in the supreme court of the county where the plaintiff resides or where J&J conducts business. New York County (Manhattan), Kings County (Brooklyn), and Bronx County handle the largest volume of product liability cases. New York has extensive experience with asbestos mass tort litigation, which provides directly relevant judicial expertise for mesothelioma claims. Federal cases from New York are typically consolidated into MDL 2738 in New Jersey.
