傳強生研設新分支注入爽身粉業務 申請破產保護以避免鉅額賠償
阿思達克 07-19 09:09
《路透社》引述消息報道,美國強生(Johnson & Johnson)(JNJ.US)計劃成立一間分支,注入涉及訴訟的嬰兒爽身粉業務,並將該分支申請破產保護,以圖結束嬰兒爽身粉被指致癌引發的索償風波。消息指,強生的一名法律顧問提出公司可選擇破產計劃,以減少向未取得和解協議個案所作的賠償,又指索償代表律師無法阻止強生這樣做,縱使可在其後提出法律挑戰。

報道引述消息指,強生尚未作最終決定,報道亦無法確定強生有否聘請重組律師爲公司研究該項破產計劃,亦引述公司聲明指,公司未就繼續抗辯以外的法律行動作任何決定。

若強生採取破產計劃,索償金額將視乎強生向該分支注入資產的規模決定。
