A legal tidal wave has engulfed Johnson & Johnson as claimants in the landmark talcum powder case have more than doubled to 7,000, transforming it into the largest product liability lawsuit in UK history. The case, which began proceedings in the High Court on Wednesday, originally involved 3,000 claimants but has swelled dramatically as more individuals come forward alleging health issues related to the company's products.

The unprecedented scale of this legal challenge sends shockwaves through corporate Britain, with legal experts predicting a landmark ruling that could establish new precedents for consumer protection. As the case progresses, all eyes remain on the High Court where this David versus Goliath battle continues to unfold, with potential repercussions that could reshape the pharmaceutical industry's approach to product safety and transparency.
