Deborah Giannecchini wins lawsuit again Johnson and Johnson
A US woman has been awarded more than $70m (£58m) by a jury after she claimed Johnson & Johnson's baby powder caused her ovarian cancer .
Deborah Giannecchini, 62, used the product for over four decades and accused the multinational of "negligent conduct" in making and marketing the powder.
The jury delivered its verdict in a St Louis , Missouri, courtroom after around three hours of deliberation, and Johnson & Johnson has said it will appeal.


The New Jersey-based company insists its talcum products are safe and there is no scientific evidence that they cause health problems.


Ms Giannecchini, from Modesto, California, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012.
After undergoing surgery, radiation and chemotherapy her chance of survival over the next two years is just 20 per cent.

Her lawyer told the trial she has had her ovaries, colon and spleen removed after using talc products, and accused Johnson & Johnson of being aware of the risk and failing to warn users.
A number of recent civil cases against Johnson & Johnson have raised concerns about health problems associated with long-term use of talcum powder.
