It was about Risperdal, not Talc, and a judge who slashed an award, reported here:

A judge reduced the amount of punitive damages Johnson & Johnson must pay in a lawsuit over its antipsychotic Risperdal to $6.8 million from the $8 billion awarded by a jury in October.

From the article

The decision stems from a jury’s decision to award $8 billion in such damages to a Maryland man who said his use of Risperdal as a child caused enlarged breasts and said J&J failed to properly warn of this risk.

J&J had asked for the amount of punitive damages to be reduced, arguing they were excessive and disproportionate to the $680,000 in compensatory damages awarded to the man, Nicholas Murray, in the case. Judge Kenneth Powell of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas entered his order reducing the amount in the court docket Friday.
