From the start of deliberations, the jury in a high-profile talcum powder trial against Johnson & Johnson last week was deadlocked.

On the fourth day, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Margaret Oldendorf brought each juror into the courtroom, one at a time. She asked if everyone was participating in the deliberations. Some said they were. Others said there was one juror who was not.

After much deliberation of her own, the judge replaced the juror.
