Johnson & Johnson disputed assertions that it was stalling and failing to cooperate in investigating claims related to its bankrupt talc unit, LTL Management LLC.
“There was and continues to be no basis” for the talc claimants to demand that J&J respond on behalf of LTL, Gregory Starner, a partner at White & Case, said in a Dec. 29 letter to the judge overseeing the case.
