Rhonda McKey, a 54-year-old ovarian cancer survivor, plans to vote for Johnson & Johnson’s prepackaged bankruptcy plan. McKey, who has undergone three surgeries and two rounds of chemotherapy since her diagnosis in 2021, expressed a desire for some semblance of normalcy in her life. “It was a very long battle. It was a very hard battle,” she told Law.com. “I’m still alive. I want to live.” Anne Andrews of Andrews & Thorton represents many victims in these cases.
Beasley Allen’s Andy Birchfield, whose firm has previously opposed other talc bankruptcies, acknowledged, “I would be really surprised if J&J were to lose this vote.”
