Johnson & Johnson, the well known manufacturers of Baby Powder and many other personal hygiene products have been ordered to pay $72m (£51m) to the family of a woman who claimed her death was linked to use of the company's Baby Powder talc.

This was as a result of a finding by a jury in the US state of Missouri.
