A Boston jury found on Sept. 13, 2024 that Cimbar Performance Minerals misrepresented the safety of its Elite Talc 2000 and that its negligence helped cause a Utah man's mesothelioma, which was diagnosed seven years after he received talc during a 2014 pleurodesis. It is the first known verdict on that theory. The jury awarded about $39.1 million, and the trial judge later cut the future pain and suffering item from $21.5 million to $6 million.
