A jury in New Jersey ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay Rs 760 crore 
The company found guilty in case that states its powder asbestos that causes cancer  
In the case, a consumer Stephen Lanzo argued that Johnson & Johnson’s powder caused his mesothelioma disease
The jury found that "both defendants acted intentionally and with deliberate indifference to the rights of Lanzo,"
The company leads with 60% share in Rs 93,000 crore baby care market in India


Lanzo's case was the first alleging a link between talc and mesothelioma to go against the drugmaker; J&J prevailed against similar claims last year in California. 
Lanzo had alleged that J&J knew its powder products contained asbestos, a known carcinogen. 
A J&J spokesperson said "multiple independent, non-litigation-driven scientific evaluations have found that our baby powder does not contain asbestos and we will immediately begin our appeal."
