Cancer is very much in the news this week following the tragic passing of actress Shannen Doherty.
But for many women cancer patients and their surviving family members around the nation, a critical deadline is approaching that they may not be aware of.
Anne Andrews, a personal injury and project liability attorney, and her client Nonnie HighTower detail Nonnie's heartbreaking story of being diagnosed with late-stage cancer after using Johnson & Johnson's talcum powder products, like tens of thousands of others who have sued the company.
They joined us to discuss why Nonnie voted for a historic and ground-breaking multi-billion-dollar settlement plan to end years of fruitless litigation over her claim.
Next week, tens of thousands of women who contracted cancer as a result of using talcum powder will have an opportunity to vote on an $8 billion settlement plan that would resolve years of litigation.
The deadline is 5 pm Eastern Time on Friday, July 26.
