J&J has said that its talc is safe, does not contain asbestos and does not cause cancer. Lee, who sued J&J along with her husband, was diagnosed with mesothelioma last year at age 48.

J&J has recently won reversals of some cases that went against it, including of a $117 million verdict in the same New Jersey appeals court and a $120 million verdict in New York.

According to its recent 10-K, J&J faces about 3,100 cases claiming talc powder caused harm. J&J faces more than 100,000 injury claims in the U.S. for its devices and drugs, according to the filing.

In addition, J&J said on appeal that the trial court failed to apply In re Accutane Litigation, a 2018 decision emphasizing a judge's gatekeeper role in determining the reliability of experts.
