As a point of comparison, the Johnson & Johnson ruling over asbestos and talc never actually proved a credible link between trace amounts of asbestos and cervical cancer or even presence of asbestos in the client's talc. But they didn't have to in order to find J&J guilty of negligence. One of the things about a jury trial is that the science itself is never on trial, and there's always a risk that one side can just out-maneuver the other.
