"A federal bankruptcy judge in Houston on Monday rejected Johnson & Johnson’s request to approve a $9 billion settlement with tens of thousands of people who are suing the company over claims that its talcum powder products caused cancer.

The proposal would have resolved nearly all current and future claims that the company’s talc products contained asbestos and caused cancer."

Over 90,000 claims are pending against Johnson & Johnson and other parties.

Forgot to mention at least one important caveat.

To some analysts current data doesn't suggest an inflationary pressure as a result of the #Trump #tariffs but, given the sorry state of the #US #economy right now, rather a #MarginSqueeze with (more) #layoffs & mass #bankruptcy as a result.

That of course would not be helpful at all, meaning a jump from the frying pan into the fire.

Others even foresee a #stagflation, combining the worst of two worlds.

Anyway, change will come.

Who could have predicted this? Really, a lot of people. @404mediaco’s @jasonkoebler reports on how 23andMe’s bankruptcy has led to more than 50 class-action and state court lawsuits from around 35,000 people who are worried about what will now happen to their genetic data.

I was on #RTÉ radio news this morning talking about #23andMe and the #DataProtection implications of their #bankruptcy. It was a short bit.

But I am a divil for doing my homework before interviews so I wrote this longer piece that sets out the issues, what rights people have and how they can exercise them (including a template email), and the practical problems that might crop up when they do.

A hat tip to @privacat and @klillington for their work I reference.
