Soon after mineral company Imerys S.A. tapped Goldman Ismail Tomaselli Brennan & Baum for help with a products liability case against Johnson & Johnson and suppliers over talc-based products, the firm advised telling the judge that she got a ruling wrong.

Although not formally admitted to the case at that time, Goldman Ismail lawyers were the primary authors of a motion for reconsideration in the South Dakota federal case brought by a woman who claimed talc caused her ovarian cancer. Imerys was one of several co-defendants in the case.
