The healthcare-products company is taking another shot at resolving mass cancer lawsuits in chapter 11 after two failed attempts.

Johnson & Johnson revealed plans to pay an additional $1.1 billion to its talc settlement proposal to resolve thousands of suits, alleging that its baby and other talcum powder caused cancer.

“Absent a Chapter 11 resolution, the talc litigation would continue for decades, at great expense to the Debtor but with no benefit to claimants,” the J&J unit’s lawyers said in court papers. Under its latest plan, baby powder victims would receive average payouts ranging from $75,000 to $175,000 depending on the severity of their injuries.

A Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiary, Red River Talc, that has been formed to handle claims related to the healthcare giant's talc-based products, filed a voluntary prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy case Friday to resolve current and future claims linked to ovarian cancer.

Johnson & Johnson plans to pay an additional $1.1 billion to resolve tens of thousands of legal actions alleging its baby powder and other talc products caused cancer, two people familiar with the matter said.

The J&J Red River Talc unit made its filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. J&J faces lawsuits from more than 62,000 claimants who alleged that its baby powder and other talc products were contaminated with asbestos and caused ovarian and other cancers.
