Talc Evidence Atlas — release-gated evidence record. Status: verified · Track: litigation · Modified 2026-08-13

The record

The Funding Agreement gave LTL a payment right against J&J and New Consumer with a floor equal to New Consumer's value at the time of the divisional merger, which LTL estimated at $61.5 billion — and the Third Circuit relied on that payment right in holding LTL was not in financial distress.

Claim scope

The $61.5B figure as the court's own operative basis for the holding, and the existence of a joint-and-several payment right exercisable outside bankruptcy.

What this source does not establish

The $61.5B is a valuation LTL itself supplied ('estimated by LTL to be worth $61.5 billion (excluding future talc liabilities)'); it is not an independent judicial appraisal, and it is not a measure of talc liability.

Limitations

Same indirect citation resolution.
