Some legal experts say Tuesday's verdict could make it harder for Johnson & Johnson to finalize its proposed $8.9 billion settlement in the Chapter 11 talc case.

The Dallas plaintiffs' firm that won a $45 million talc verdict against Johnson & Johnson scored a $260 million jury award on Monday—and a third trial kicks off on Wednesday.

Thousands of lawsuits allege that Johnson & Johnson's talc-based baby powder caused cancer. The company's attempt to move those suits to bankruptcy court has been rejected.

J&J has maintained that its now-discontinued talc products are safe and do not cause cancer. It previously set aside $400 million to resolve state claims.

J&J is liable for Valadez’s economic damages of $3.8 million and his noneconomic damages of $15 million, according to the verdict.
