Johnson Johnson has announced a proposed $5.5 billion global resolution aimed at settling tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging its talcum powder products caused ovarian cancer, a major development in one of the country’s most closely watched mass torts.

The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously rejected Mexico’s effort to hold American gun manufacturers liable for cartel violence, shutting down a closely watched suit that sought roughly $10 billion in damages.

Mexico had argued that U.S. manufacturers and distributors knowingly facilitated illegal trafficking by designing, marketing, and distributing firearms in ways that predictably supplied cartel networks.

The U.S. Supreme Court closed out a closely watched cross-border liability fight this week by unanimously rejecting Mexico’s effort to hold American gun manufacturers responsible for firearm trafficking and cartel violence south of the border.
