But J&J insists its baby product was safe and stressed it "takes the issue of talc incredibly seriously" safety If the action goes ahead it is understood to be the first of its kind against the pharmaceutical giant in the UK.
Claimants include cancer patients, survivors, bereaved families and also some men.
A J&J spokesperson said the company has won the "vast majority" of trials in the US or won on appeal.
KP Law is leading the British case, representing around 2,000 people.
