J&J's $5.5 Billion Talc Deal: Biggest Corporate Settlements In History

J&J's proposed $5.5 billion talc settlement ranks among history's largest corporate payouts, but trails the $206 billion tobacco deal, $26 billion opioid settlement, $20 billion BP oil spill, $14.7 billion VW emissions, $11 billion Bayer Roundup, and $7.4 billion Purdue Pharma agreements.
