THE COURT I've got one of each Two for each depo and one is on the original designations and then one's on the counter So if you have a question let me know As I said very few of them were sustained

document This is a transcript that Dr. Castleman wrote from a call that he had with Johnson & Johnson Johnson & Johnson never saw this document There's no & Bates stamp It was never provided to Johnson & Johnson at the time I have no objection to Dr. Castleman testifying about the call that he had with Mr. Semple but I do have an objection to the actual document coming in THE COURT Okay Can I see it MR UUSTAL Oh yes sir THE COURT Okay Your position Mr. Uustal 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 12 MR UUSTAL Well first it is an ancient record It is a business record of Dr. Castleman and we agree that this is not in J's files but other entities can have business records and -- THE COURT What is his entity MR UUSTAL Well you mean like his business We can ask him and lay the foundation for that But he was working at the time for -- THE COURT So she's objecting I'm not going to rule on it at this moment I'll allow you to lay a predicate and then we'll see where you are on this MR UUSTAL Yes sir THE COURT I'm not going to just receive it without further testimony MR UUSTAL Yes Judge THE COURT Unless it's not objected to which it says MR UUSTAL Plaintiff's 744 for identification we move into evidence MS QUINTANA No objection Your Honor THE COURT Plaintiff's 744 will be received without objection Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 744 Document was received in Evidence 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 13 MR UUSTAL Plaintiff's 934 for identification we move into evidence MS QUINTANA So Judge I have no objection to this document coming into evidence I do have an objection to them using it with Dr. Castleman I don't know if you want to hear that now or if you want to wait until he testifies THE COURT I'll just wait until there's a question and you object to it MS QUINTANA Okay THE COURT You have no objection to receiving it in evidence MS QUINTANA Correct THE COURT And the number was 934 MS QUINTANA Yes Your Honor THE COURT 934 is received into evidence without objection Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 934 Document was received in Evidence MR UUSTAL The plaintiff moves 1033 for identification into evidence MS QUINTANA No objection Your Honor THE COURT Plaintiff's 1033 is received in evidence without objection Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 1033 Document was 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 14 received in Evidence MR UUSTAL The plaintiff moves 1104 for identification into evidence MS QUINTANA No objection Your Honor THE COURT Plaintiff's 1104 is received in evidence without objection Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 1104 Document was received in Evidence MR UUSTAL Plaintiffs move 1683 for identification into evidence MS QUINTANA No objection Your Honor THE COURT Plaintiff's 1683 is received into evidence without objection Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 1683 Document was received in Evidence MR UUSTAL 1688 for ID we would move into evidence MS QUINTANA So Judge I don't have an objection to the actual letter that was written by Johnson & Johnson on Page 2. I would object to the Castleman file -- like document that's attached to the front I don't know what that is but the actual letter I have no objection to THE COURT Okay MR UUSTAL We'll pull the first page off 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 15 THE COURT Okay MS QUINTANA Yeah Yeah THE COURT So 1688 would be received as agreed MS QUINTANA Yes Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 1688 Document was received in Evidence THE COURT Can you wait where you are one moment I've got to take a phone call MS QUINTANA Of course Your Honor Thereupon a recess was taken after which the following proceedings were had THE COURT You can all be seated I apologize to you All right So where did we leave off MR UUSTAL We're almost done We've got three We moved in Plaintiff's 2561 for ID MS QUINTANA So again Your Honor I have no objection to this document coming into evidence H do have an objection to it being used with Dr. Castleman THE COURT Okay 2561 is received in evidence without objection and without prejudice to making your objections sort of in passing would help 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 16 Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 2561 Document was received in Evidence MR UUSTAL 3409 for ID we move into evidence MS QUINTANA Your Honor defendants do object to 3409 as -- on grounds of hearsay relevance 90.403 bolstering and improper opinion THE COURT Okay MR UUSTAL We would -- THE COURT Can I see it MR UUSTAL Oh yes sir We would be willing to offer it simply as notice with the limiting instruction that the Court desires that J has notice of these things Judge rather than for truth of the matter asserted THE COURT So this is a report of a hearing of the Senate Committee and of Congress in 1973 MR UUSTAL Right THE COURT Okay MS QUINTANA Your Honor there has been no evidence presented that Johnson & Johnson had notice of this hearing or was at this hearing or has any notice of the contents within the Senate hearing transcript THE COURT Okay 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 17 MR UUSTAL Judge it might be useful then to argue the last document before we rule on this because that is a document showing they did have notice of this THE COURT now Okay So I'll reserve on this for Go ahead MR UUSTAL Okay for ID into evidence The plaintiffs move 3414 MS QUINTANA Your Honor we do have an objection as it coming in as substantive evidence We have no objection to this document coming in -- this document as to notice to Johnson & Johnson It's a third document that was in J's files MR UUSTAL We don't object to that being limited for the use -- THE COURT Okay So I'll receive 3414 without objection MS QUINTANA I do disagree Your Honor that this article provides notice to Johnson & Johnson of the contents of the Committee on Congress for the United States Senate this Senate hearing transcript that Your Honor received which was Plaintiff's Exhibit 3409 MR UUSTAL And just for clarity -- 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 18 THE COURT In all these years nobody ever asked a corporate rep about this report MR UUSTAL That's a good question I don't know Whose is it THE COURT And this MR TISI J It was not -- you're talking about THE COURT Well I mean you're used to us contending that it's admissible MR TISI No but we already -- THE COURT At minimum because it provides notice She's saying well they never had notice of it I'm just wondering if -- MR TISI Yeah it was not THE COURT -- no one ever asked the corporate rep about it MR TISI It was not Your Honor But we did argue this issue the other day when we were talking about motions in limine on Dr. Castleman THE COURT huh MR TISI He will testify that -- if you look at the actual Washington Post article that was circulated it was all the scientists that they believe was dealing with that at the company at the time And he referred to in the article and it 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 19 shows that they were not only aware of the hearing but they were aware of the talc aspect of the hearing because if you look on the second page of the article they underline the talc and asbestos issue THE COURT So this document which is 3414 came out of the J files MR TISI Correct MR UUSTAL Yes sir THE COURT Okay MR UUSTAL And those are J scientists whose names are written on it that it was distributed to THE COURT That is right MR TISI And they happened to be the J scientists that Dr. Castleman was speaking to in this timeframe THE COURT Okay MS QUINTANA And Judge I have the transcript where Mr. Tisi said that he does not intend to use this document with Dr. Castleman We said that at the hearing on the motion in limine -- Regardless so if you look the date of this article is February 24th 1973. Dr. Castleman testified on February 23rd 1973. It wasn't received in Johnson & Johnson's files until 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 20 March 2nd 1973 and there's no indication that after receiving this document Johnson & Johnson went and obtained the Senate hearing transcript which back in the 1970s would have been much more difficult to do than it is now So there's just no evidence that Johnson & Johnson had notice of the contents in the Senate hearing transcript I don't disagree that they had notice of the contents in the Washington Post article which was found in our files but it does not suggest that Johnson & Johnson has notice of the entire hearing transcript which also includes articles and books written by experts which would be separate hearsay on their own THE COURT So I'm going to reserve on the hearing report I've got to look at that a little closer MR UUSTAL Yes sir THE COURT So can I hang on to it for now MR UUSTAL Yes sir And then -- THE COURT Give this -- MR UUSTAL But could I take -- yeah then I can give them all to the clerk what we have THE COURT Okay MR TISI To be clear Your Honor I just 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 21 would like maybe to put up a portion of the -- I do intend to use that document I don't remember the context -- content -- context in which I said -- and I don't have it here -- THE COURT article You intend to use the newspaper MR TISI I do intend to say -- no I will proffer what I intend to say Are these the scientists she was dealing with -- with the Johnson & Johnson are they listed on the side Some of them were But if this is referring to a hearing that you testified to at the request of the United States Senate yes -- yes it does I mean it's basically -- I'm trying to establish the predicate for the notice that counsel's talking about So I do intend to do that THE COURT So the notice issue - you know I guess it's at what level of generality do I need to -- MR TISI Do they need it -- THE COURT By notice I mean do they know there was a hearing MR TISI Well do they know -- THE COURT Do they know where or when it ended 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 22 up in the report I mean I -- MR TISI Well I mean it's -- Your Honor I mean, I think this is an important point These names and -- the reason why I have the easel out here I'm going to write these names down These names are people that the jury is going to hear constantly throughout this trial THE COURT No no I'm just struggling -- and I get that And I understand what you intend to do And that document is in evidence right now MR TISI Right THE COURT But I'm just struggling with the admissibility of this MR TISI Yeah I'm not going to look at the -- there is a small excerpt of what Dr. Castleman testified to and what he communicated to the world candidly I will provide that so it's not the whole thing And I'm happy to give you that excerpt that we're actually going to use with him THE COURT Do you want to show that to us or -- MR TISI Yes THE COURT It's direct now that I have the whole thing You can tell me what page it is MR TISI It's Pages -- 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 23 MS PAPANTONIO So yes Your Honor there's no page numbers but if you go to the top of the document -- THE COURT In the report MS PAPANTONIO Yes sir Page 123 and 171 through 173 THE COURT So I've got 123 and then you said 171 through -- MR TISI -- 173 THE COURT Okay I got it MR TISI And I have the sections that I was going to ask him about Your Honor I'll highlight it and I can show it to you if that makes it easy THE COURT Sure Show Ms. Quintana MS QUINTANA So are you talking about the transcript from the hearing MR TISI Yes MS QUINTANA Are you on Page 123 MR TISI Yeah I'll show him THE COURT Because when you say you're going to show it to him what do you intend to do with it MR TISI I'm just going to ask Well is this what -- was this what you communicated MS QUINTANA And Judge I have a strenuous 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 24 objection to this as Dr. Castleman is not an expert in this case He is a fact witness MR TISI Right MS QUINTANA And if Johnson & Johnson wasn't present for this hearing what he said at the hearing and what he said to the public at large is entirely irrelevant especially due to his testimony as a fact witness MR TISI Your Honor as a fact witness he can testify to what he said and I think that's within the scope of your ruling The article establishes that they either knew about it or should have known about it They actually highlighted sections dealing with talc and -- and lung disease So it's really you can - there's a sufficient foundation for allowing him to say what they knew or should have known based upon what is in that Washington Post article MS QUINTANA Judge what Dr. Castleman thinks that Johnson & Johnson knew or should have known at the time is irrelevant to his testimony as a fact witness MR TISI I'm not going to ask him what they knew or should have known I think the jury can make that inference based upon listening to his 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 25 testimony seeing the documents in the file seeing the information that Dr. Castleman -- the people who he was communicating with over four years in the company There's enough evidence that the jury can infer that You can certainly argue that they didn't know and they didn't have evidence But there's enough evidence to get it in in my opinion MS QUINTANA I disagree Your Honor I don't -- THE COURT So what is this Is this his testimony MR TISI This is his testimony talked about -- And he THE COURT Well I mean I'm looking at it like in the first one here MR TISI Yeah THE COURT I mean that seems to run afoul of my ruling that there's no opinions MR TISI Okay THE COURT I think I mean he's saying -- MR TISI Well he's not -- offering THE COURT -- you know that a certain level of exposures will subject people to increased mortality from mesothelioma 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 26 MR TISI He didn't - I'm not asking what his current opinions are The fact that they knew that there was information in the public that -- I'm sorry I'm standing too close THE COURT No you're all right MR TISI The information in the public at the time that there was -- that level exposure might cause mesothelioma is noticed I don't care if there's a limiting instruction He's going to offer his opinion based upon what he knows now This is what he said in public which J was aware of The other things I was going to ask him about -- there are two comments in here One comment is -- I'm sorry I can't find the page One comment is one of the things that should be done is stop use of talc containing even trace amounts of asbestos where the product fibers can become airborne That's an important -- that was something that was said at the time And the other thing that was said -- and this came directly from Johnson -- you'll see that this is reflected in the information gotten directly from Johnson & Johnson Before 1865 when Johnson & Johnson began talc manufacture babies were commonly 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 27 dusted with cornstarch The safe substitute is still available at fourth the cost of talc Out of the public it's something that -- that the company should have been aware of And clearly it's reflected in the documents that they were considering cornstarch at the time THE COURT So if I admit it are you suggesting that you have no objection to a limiting instruction MR TISI Of course not THE COURT What should that say MR TISI That this was -- it's not being offered as an opinion It was offered as something that J had notice of THE COURT Okay MR TISI Or may have had notice of based upon information that -- MS QUINTANA A couple of things Judge that -- one of the things that should be done is to stop the use of talc Even trace amounts of asbestos -- with a trace amount of asbestos can become airborne I mean that is blank an expert opinion His entire testimony at the Senate hearing was his opinions at the time I mean had they wanted him 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 28 to testify to this they should have made him state expert which they did not As to the -- Page 173 where it talks about Johnson & Johnson this is part of his book Asbestos and You which he actually blank testified in his deposition he never gave a copy to Johnson & Johnson So there's absolutely no evidence that Johnson & Johnson knew about his book should have known about his book Again the only thing that they knew or should have known is -- would be what is -- what is actually written in the article that they received on March 2nd 1973 I disagree that Dr. Castleman can testify about this article because it is an article and he is not an expert He has no idea what Johnson & Johnson knew or didn't know about this article on March 2nd 1973. It wasn't him who sent it to them It was found in Johnson & Johnson's files So again anything he said at the Senate hearing is -- is opinion testimony that's reserved for an expert and Your Honor has already ruled that Dr. Castleman cannot testify as to his opinions He should be limited to testify as to the facts and his conversations with Johnson & Johnson at the time 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal

what his opinion are today based upon everything he knows and what he is -- what he's saying today What is important is -- and one of the things the jury is going to be called upon to decide is whether or not what we say should have been done was reasonable at the time The fact that people were out in public was communicating with the -- you know the United States Senate the information is in the record in the United States Senate clearly available to -- to everybody They knew about this hearing It's -- it's him not testifying to what the state of the article was as an expert He's testifying to what he was saying at the time THE COURT Okay MR TISI And that's why this is not an expert opinion THE COURT Okay So I'm just going to -- I'm not receiving this report in at this point and you've now educated me on the looming evidentiary issue that will come and I'll just await your questions and objections and I'll make rulings on 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800

you know arguably being something that a lay witness would not otherwise be saying in a credible way I would -- I'll allow it but I will give an instruction But I want to hear the exact questions MR TISI Thank you Your Honor THE COURT An instruction would basically say you know that this testimony about what Dr. Castleman said in 1973 is being offered and put before you for the very limited purpose to determine whether or not -- or what Johnson & Johnson knew or should have known at the time MR TISI Honor All right I'm okay with that Your THE COURT And you're not to -- Dr. Castleman has not been presented as to what's referred to as an expert witness and his opinions should not be considered in that way at that point in time MS QUINTANA We would just object Your Honor THE COURT How about the instruction 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 31 Anything else MS QUINTANA I think I would object to the instruction only because I object to the testimony THE COURT Right I understand But do you have any -- just with an understanding that I'm preserving that In my opinion I don't think you need to do anything else MS QUINTANA Okay THE COURT I'm going to give some instruction if I allow it If you want to be heard on the language of it you can just come sidebar okay MS QUINTANA Understood Your Honor

this time I would object to it being shown to the jury at all today without a foundation having been laid as to the admissibility of the bottle or the authentication or foundation of the bottle MR UUSTAL We're not intending to use it today It's not the 2009 bottle MS QUINTANA Oh MR UUSTAL It's just a bottle MS QUINTANA Okay MR UUSTAL And we do -- it's just demonstrative I believe we will at

Okay I'm going to limit my questions to you specifically to what you saw and what you did related to those three topics asbestos Johnson's talcum powder products and Johnson & Johnson in the time frame of 1971 until 1975 Do you understand that A. I do Q. Okay And during that time did you 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 39 communicate with scientists and others at Johnson & Johnson on those issues A.

Okay Let's go back to that time frame Do you recall what you were doing professionally during that time frame A. Well in 1971 I was a graduate student at the Johns Hopkins School of -- well at the Johns Hopkins Department of Environmental Engineering and I was doing a master's degree on air pollution control and related scientific subjects and I was writing my doctorate thesis about the health effects of asbestos And in the course of this I wrote to people at Johnson & Johnson in July of 1971 Q. We're going to talk about some of that correspondence in a moment But just to be clear you were interested in the question of asbestos and you contacted Johnson & Johnson because of that true MS QUINTANA Objection Leading THE COURT Rephrase MR TISI Yeah BY MR TI I Q. Is the reason why you contacted Johnson & Johnson because of the work you were studying at Johns Hopkins A. Yes 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 41 Q. Okay And you mentioned July of 1971. Was that the first time you recall speaking to Johnson -- or communicating with Johnson & Johnson A. It is Q. Okay You're our first witness to testify and I just want to orient our jury a little bit Briefly and for context could you tell the members of the jury what you understood at the time about asbestos that caused you to call Johnson & Johnson MS QUINTANA Relevance Objection Outside the scope MR TISI It's just really just to orient the jury Your Honor THE COURT Okay Overruled at this point Let's see where it goes THE WITNESS I had been reading the literature -- MS QUINTANA Objection THE WITNESS -- the historic literature about the health effects of asbestos And in the course of that I had come across the literature linking asbestos and talc MS QUINTANA strike Objection Your Honor Move to 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 42 THE COURT Overruled Denied BY MR TISI Q. Okay Now you mentioned in 1971 you wrote a letter to Johnson & Johnson regarding Johnson's baby powder We have previously admitted Exhibit Number 434 and we're going to put it on the screen I believe -- do you need a paper copy or you can look at it right on the screen there A. Well we'll see when the screen comes on Q. Okay THE COURT There we go THE WITNESS I think I can do all right with the screen MR TISI Oh I see it BY MR TISI Q. Is this the letter you wrote to Johnson & Johnson in your handwriting in July of 1971 A. It is Q. Okay And do you personally wrote A. It is - is this a letter you Q. Okay And if you look at the topics from John -- you listed your address as Johns Hopkins University Department of Environmental Engineering Do you see that 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 43 A. Yes Q. Is that where you were at the time A. It is Q. And you wrote a letter to Johnson & Johnson Can you read the first sentence for me please A. I am presently finishing a literature review on the health effects of asbestos Q. And that's -- was that why you were calling Johnson & Johnson at the time A. Yes Q. Okay And did you consider -- when you were communicating with them did you consider that a potential problem A. Yes MS QUINTANA Objection THE COURT Overruled Outside the scope BY MR TISI Q. Please go to the second sentence Would you read that as well A. In assessing the justification of current calls for removal of asbestos from talcum powder there are several things I wish to know Q. Okay I want to ask you that -- ask you a question The predicate for your question was that there 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 44 were calls to remove asbestos from talcum powder at the time in 1971 What was your basis for saying that to Johnson & Johnson at the time MS QUINTANA Objection THE COURT Overruled Outside the scope THE WITNESS Well this issue had been raised by the leading medical authority on asbestos in the United States Dr. Irving Selikoff And there had even been an article in the New York Times I don't know about -- exactly about the New York Times article's timing But in any case I knew that there was concern publicly expressed about asbestos contamination of talc MS QUINTANA Objection Your Honor Move to strike Outside the scope of his opinions THE COURT Overruled BY MR TISI Q. Number -- the first question that you wrote -- it's a little bit cut off here but I think we can figure it out Would you read for the members of the jury what you said A. How long have cosmetic talcs in particular Johnson's powder been in widespread public use I 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 45 think is what that sentence says Q. Why were you interested in that A. Well I wanted to know from a public health point of view how far back this issue went in terms of the public use of talcum powders Q. You wrote a second question Would you read for the members of the jury what you wrote A. What would be involved in terms of cost plant process changes and removing the asbestos fibers from talc in which I believe it naturally occurs Q. I'd like to pause here for a moment and ask what -- what you meant by that A. Well I was trained as a chemical engineer and I was interested in whether they had some kind of a -- process for assuring that any asbestos that was in their talc was removed prior to its marketing to consumers Q. Okay The next question in this - -this letter says what A. Do all talcum powders contain asbestos And among those which do what is the range of tremolite content Q. Now up until this point in this letter you were using the word asbestos Here you're talking about tremolite Would you 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 46 tell us the members of the jury were those interchangeable Why did you say that MS QUINTANA Objection Outside the scope Your Honor THE COURT Overruled THE WITNESS Tremolite is a variety of asbestos and it was something I had seen in the literature being associated with talcum powder BY MR TISI Q. Okay Did you - A. I'm sorry Being associated with talc that was mined in New York State Q. Did you talk about -- when you wrote this in this time frame when you used the word tremolite did you feel the need when you were communicating with colleagues to say the word tremolite asbestos A. No. Q. Why A. Well there are six forms of asbestos -- MS QUINTANA Objection Outside the scope Your Honor THE COURT Overruled THE WITNESS There were six forms of asbestos that were commonly referred to and people writing about the mineralogy and the health effects of 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 47 asbestos and tremolite was one of the six BY MR TISI Q. Right But did you feel like you had to say tremolite versus tremolite asbestos versus tremolite fibers versus asbestiform tremolite You know those forms right those terms before You've heard A. I've heard those terms more recently But back in 1971 tremolite was -- to me meant a form of asbestos and nothing else MS QUINTANA Objection Move to strike based on his response THE COURT Overruled BY MR TISI Q. Okay Now the last sentence that you say is Any information -- or actually why don't you read it for the members of the jury THE COURT It went down There it goes THE WITNESS I close by saying any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated in making a fair appraisal of this problem BY MR TISI Q. You used the word problem and you put it in quotes 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 48 Why did you put the problem in quotes Dr. Castleman A. Well I wasn't -- I guess it was a polite way of asking them and a scientific way of saying I haven't come to any definite conclusions about this matter That's why I'm asking you these questions So it might be a problem It might not be a problem That's the sense of the quotes around the word problem Q. Now I'm going to show you a document Exhibit Number -- the next exhibit which is entered into evidence already Exhibit Number 10 -- I'm sorry -- 1033. And it's entitled Asbestos Inquiry Mr. Barry Castleman Do you see it A. Yes Q. Okay This has been entered into evidence and this is not a document -- is this a document you had in your normal course of business or something you've seen recently A. That's something that I saw for the first time recently -- in recent years Q.

Yes Down to the last sentence which wasn't blown up but yes I recall that being in the letter -- in this document Q. I'm just going to ask you just for members of the jury is that an accurate description of who you were at the time Were you somebody who had scientific knowledge beyond the normal type of inquiry that people generally had MS QUINTANA Objection Improper opinion THE COURT Overruled Bolstering THE WITNESS Yes BY MR TISI Q.

Yes Q. Did you have any understanding as to whether or not these people on this letter -- or did you come to learn the people on this letter were scientists at Johnson & Johnson A. I would later come to learn that yes Q. Okay Would you read the -- number one in the letter that you got back from Johnson & Johnson A. The use of talc as a cosmetic extends far back in historical time More specifically Johnson & Johnson has marketed baby powder since 1895. Q. And that was one -- was that one of the questions you asked them in your original letter A. Yeah it was Q. Okay The second is where I want to spend a little time Doctor Would you read for the record what they told you at that time in August of 1971 A. We have no asbestos in our baby powder / prove this we have had extensive analytical work carried out by mineralogists at the Colorado School of 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 52 Mines by McCrone Laboratories in Chicago and by Professor Fred Pooley at the University of Wales in Cardiff Professor Pooley is associated with one of the teaching scientific groups studying the relationship of asbestos and other inorganic particles to cancer Q. Now they used the word no asbestos Do you see that word A. Yes We have no asbestos in our baby powder What did you understand when they made that representation to you no asbestos to mean A. None Zero Nothing A. Nothing Q. Okay A. No asbestos at all Q. Okay And they told you that the proof of this was that they had these other labs that said that correct A. Yes Q. Did they ever share with you what those other labs found A.

Okay I'd like to show you what has been admitted as Exhibit Number 1688. It's a letter from March of 1972 and the judge has admitted this into evidence Do you see that A. Yes Q. Okay It starts out by saying First I must apologize in the delay in responding to your inquiry about Johnson's baby powder Having read this letter -- have you seen this letter and looked at this letter before coming to court today A. Yes Q. Okay Having read this letter you understand that you wrote another letter to Johnson & Johnson 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 54 which resulted in them writing you back A. Yes And I think it must have been a postcard Q. Okay And you made an inquiry according to this letter -- given the totality of this letter do you have an understanding or appreciation of generally what that inquiry would have been A. Generally But I don't know exactly what I wrote on the -- on the postcard Q. What do you think - -based upon the response you got what do you think the inquiry would have been Would it have been a continuation of what you were talking about with Dr. Shelley A. Yes MS QUINTANA Objection THE COURT Overruled Speculation THE WITNESS Yes BY MR TISI Q. letter Well let me just ask you the question briefly What were you trying to do here in this other A. Well I was following up on the response I had received and asking some more questions about the same general subject Q. Were you continuing to have concern about the safety of talc with respect to asbestos 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 55 A. Yes Q. Okay Now it says to - -the next the -- next paragraph we'll blow it up It says To answer your question - would you read the rest A. Johnson & Johnson takes great care in the formulation and production of all its products In the case of Johnson's baby powder the talc comes from our own mines specifically selected for the quality of their talc This grade talc is processed through repeated washings in order to free it of impurities Under careful analysis by independent experts the finished product has been shown to be free of asbestos Q. Okay Now this is from a Steven Sawchuk So I'm going to write his name down too This is the second letter where Johnson & Johnson assured you that the mines were clean and there was no baby powder and it had been proven Do you see that A. Yes 0 Okay And when they said to you that the product has been shown to be free of asbestos what did you take that to mean A. That it was totally free of asbestos There was no asbestos in it Q. Well did you understand there could be some 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 56 asbestos but not enough I mean was there any threshold that you interpreted that when you got that in 1972 A. No. MS QUINTANA Objection Relevance Speculation Improper opinion THE COURT Overruled THE WITNESS No. BY MR TISI Q. Okay So just so the jury understands when they said the words Our product has been shown to be free of asbestos your interpretation of that was what A. Completely free of asbestos Q. And with respect to the mines what did you understand their representation to you to be A. Well that they had assured that this mine was in a form -- a type of talc or a deposit of talc that was free of asbestos Q. Okay Now in this letter unlike the last letter they say careful analysis by independent experts They mentioned Colorado School of Mines in the prior letter McCrone and Dr. Pooley Did you have any understanding based upon your communications in 1972 what these quote independent experts -- who they were 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 57 A. I can only tell what the letter contained I couldn't really go any further in understanding whether they were referring to any other independent experts or the same ones that had been referred to in the first letter that actually named several laboratories Q. At this time when you were following up in 1972 did J offer to share with you as somebody who was interested the testing results that they had gotten from these independent experts A. No. MS QUINTANA Objection opinion THE COURT Overruled Relevance Improper THE WITNESS No. BY MR TISI Q. Okay As somebody who was studying -- now at this time - -and pardon me You had actually gone to work - -at this time were you working or were you still a graduate student A. I had just started work a couple months -- right before the date of this letter as an air pollution control official for the Baldwin County Health Department Q. Okay So you were working in public health at the time 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 58 A. Yes This is my first employment in the field of public health Q. Okay As somebody at that time if you had been told something along the lines of an analysis by independent experts had shown that Johnson & Johnson talc had been shown to have some asbestos but not a lot would that have been different in your mind MS QUINTANA Objection Relevance Improper opinion Outside the scope THE COURT On that question I'll overrule You can answer THE WITNESS Yes I would have been alarmed if they said there was any asbestos in the talc BY MR TISI Q. Okay Would that be meaningfully different for -- would that have been meaningfully different at the time in 1972 -- A. Yes Q. -- to you A. I mean asbestos was a causing substance Even a small amount of it would be a danger MS QUINTANA Objection Move to strike Your Honor THE COURT Overruled THE WITNESS It would have been a danger 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 59 especially for people exposed at such an early age as infants BY MR TISI Q. I would like to show you Exhibit Number 1104 which is a letter that you wrote again after getting two letters of assurance from Johnson & Johnson This one is in August of 1972 Is this your handwriting previously admitted into evidence Is this your handwriting A. Yes This has been Q. Okay You start by saying I was - -would you read the first part of what you wrote here A. When I was doing research on asbestos at Johns Hopkins I asked you some questions about Johnson's talc and you sent a very informative reply It is apparent that Johnson's talc is free of asbestos Q. Now when you - -- are you referring to the two other letters that you wrote to them and the two responses you got from Johnson & Johnson A. Yes Q. Okay Now when you said it was apparent that Johnson & Johnson's talc is free of asbestos what did you base that on A. On what they had told me 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 60 Q. Okay Did you believe them at the time MS QUINTANA Objection Outside the scope of his opinion Relevance And in violation of the motion in limine THE COURT I'm going to sustain that objection MR TISI Okay BY MR TISI Q. You go on to say the -- next sentence it says What I am interested in knowing is whether talc per se could enhance the likelihood of cancer development in individuals who are occupationally exposed Do you see that A. Yes Okay And you brought up a study by Kleinfeld that you brought to their attention Do you see that A. Yes Q. Okay What was the purpose -- what was the Kleinfeld study that you were bringing to the -- that you were notifying them about at the time MS QUINTANA Objection Outside the scope Improper opinion Relevance THE COURT Overruled THE WITNESS Kleinfeld was reporting on New 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 61 York State talc miners that were the subject of study by government officials and Kleinfeld was a government official for the State of New York And they found that there was an excess rate of lung cancer -- four times the expected rate of lung cancer in these talc miners compared to men in New York State generally of the same age distribution And that there were also -- at least had one case each of pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma found in these miners who were exposed to a talc that was described as a tremolitic talc BY MR TISI Q. Again that term tremolite were you raising again a question about tremolite in talc A. Yes Q. Okay Now to be fair the Kleinfeld you mentioned had 30 percent -- that there was a 30 percent asbestos correct A. Of two types of asbestos tremolite and anthophyllite Q. Right MS QUINTANA Objection Move to strike Outside the scope Improper opinion THE COURT Overruled 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 62 BY MR TISI Q. So would that have been different in terms of the amount of asbestos but the issue was still the same A. I don't understand the question Q. I'm sorry It was a bad question and I apologize If this was -- you mentioned here that there was 30 percent asbestos in these talcs in the New York mine A. Yes 2 Whatever the -- whatever the number was -- because you understand mines could have different amounts correct You understood that at the time right A. Sure Q. Okay Was the larger point you were raising is relating to talc and asbestos and reraising that question A. Well I was concerned that talc itself could cause cancer And it wasn't clear from this report whether talc played a role or whether it was just the asbestos contaminants in this particular talc -- Q. Right A. - that was causing these excess tests from 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 63 lung cancer and mesothelioma Q. Okay The next thing is it says -- at the very last paragraph before your signature line the first sentence that you read there would you tell us what you said It beginning It would be -- A. It would be a great value to provide a scientific basis for saying whether talc exposure carries any excess risk of developing cancer -- Reports Q. Don't go to the next sentence Just that one sentence Did you feel it was communicating to them that there should be -- that there would be value in looking at this question A. Yes Q. Okay Next question -- next thing at the very last part you said Excess lung cancer among workers with mixed talc asbestos exposure are a cause of concern but provide no proof of hazard at this time in 1971. A. No proof of hazard of talc specifically Q. Right Were you intending that sentence to mean that if it had asbestos in it it would not be a potential hazard 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 64 MS QUINTANA BY MR TISI Objection Improper opinion Q. What were you intending -- THE COURT I'm going to sustain that MR TISI Yeah BY MR TISI Q. Were you intending that to mean - what were you intending it to mean with respect to asbestos if it was in the talc A. Well what I was I think saying here is it would be nice if we could do a study of a talc that didn't have any asbestos in it to see if it was also causing an excess cancer risk in the workers exposed to it follow it up for a sufficiently long period of time Q. Now the next letter that you got is Exhibit Number 1683 where J responds to you again in August of 1972 Do you see that A. Yes Now this has been admitted into evidence And it's -- and it's from a Dr. Shelley That's the same doctor who originally wrote to you - that originally responded to your letter is that right A. Yes I think so Q. Okay And again he is what What does he 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 65 identify himself as A. Director of the Central Research Laboratories at Johnson & Johnson Q. Okay And he referred you to a Dr. Hildick who we saw as a cc in a prior letter Do you see that A. That's right Right And did you get a letter from Dr. Hildick A. I did Q. We're going to bring up Exhibit Number 744 which is admitted into evidence and we'll publish it for the jury Is this a copy of the letter you got from Johnson & Johnson in response to the letter that you wrote A.

And there are cc's to this letter and Dr. Nashid are also cc'd Dr. Shelley These are the people with whom you had been communicating right A. Yes Q. Okay And the only part of this I'm going to be asking you about is his response to the issue that you raised about talc mines that may have asbestos in them at the Kleinfeld study Do you see that A. Yes 0 Okay Did he say that he understood that -- he knew that there -- about the Kleinfeld study A. He does Q. Okay Would you read for the jury what he said he was aware of at the time A. I mean he cites to publication by Kleinfeld and even gives the journal by page and year in which the article appeared in 1967 The publication that you mentioned in your letter is familiar to us and as you know reports on the incidence of pulmonary cancer in miners working in talc mines which contain tremolite and serpentine Q. Okay And there's the term tremolite and serpentine again 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 67 They didn't communicate it to you tremolite fibers tremolite asbestos or any qualifying language Everybody knew that when they used the term tremolite and used -- in this everybody knew they were talking about asbestos is that true MS QUINTANA Objection Relevance Improper opinion Outside the scope THE COURT Overruled THE WITNESS BY MR TISI That was my understanding yes Q. Okay And that was how people actually spoke at the time I mean -- A. Not -- Q. -- people who were talking about these different compounds they didn't say the only way it's asbes- -- the only way it's tremolite asbestos is if you use the word asbestos after the word tremolite MS QUINTANA Objection Relevance personal knowledge Outside the scope THE COURT Overruled Lacks THE WITNESS No people weren't going into that kind of argument back then BY MR TISI Q.

At Johnson & Johnson yes Q. At Johnson & Johnson And Dr. -- Semple can you just read the last sentence and tell us what Dr. -- Semple represent represented to you at the time A. Semple thinks the relative innocuousness of talc is because of platy morphology that it easily picked up -- that is easily picked up by the mucous stream and little is retained in the lungs Q.

I can anticipate Mr. Tisi's questions based on what he asked in the deposition He's going to ask him you know about this document and whether Johnson & Johnson ever showed this to him or told him about it What Johnson & Johnson did not tell Dr. Castleman during that time is entirely irrelevant to his testimony as a fact witness They had no duty to tell him these things They had - you know there's to concealment claim here There's no concealment claim against Dr. Castleman This is going to be pure expert opinion testimony and it's entirely irrelevant to his opinion as a fact witness THE COURT Okay Before I hear from the plaintiff let me just read this please MR TISI Well all I've got to say Judge is this letter -- this is already in evidence I think the jury -- I was only going to ask him to read a document that is already in evidence It makes sense in the context of his testimony I'm just publishing the document I'm not going to ask any questions about it I think it will be obvious why I'm asking the question But I think the jury's 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 76 going to be entitled to hear from this perfect witness to read it to the jury THE COURT All right MS QUINTANA Judge if they want to make this argument in closing they're able to do that with this document but I don't think it's proper to put it in through -- to put this testimony in through Dr. Castleman who they've identified only as a fact witness who did not know about this document during the time that he was communicating with Johnson & Johnson And Johnson & Johnson had no -- you know no obligation to provide this to him MR TISI With this sole exception being Your Honor this is one of the very specific laboratories that I told him they got confirmation of that there was no asbestos in talc This document from the laboratory that they told him that they got that information from says something completely different And again I'm not going to ask him any questions other than to have him read it and to identify this as one of the laboratories who they made a representation to him about They didn't have a -- whether they had a duty or didn't have a duty they did make a 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 77 representation about this lab MS QUINTANA If I could just add Judge then it's disingenuous because there are thousands of other McCrone documents and other testing documents from Johnson & Johnson that are going to come in throughout this trial that do show that their talc was free of asbestos MR TISI Bring them in MS QUINTANA I mean I don't want to do that with Dr. Castleman I had no intention to do that today THE COURT Okay So the objection is overruled Really at the end of the day this is boiling down to you want Dr. Castleman to read from a document that's already in evidence MR TISI Correct THE COURT And that's all you're going to do MR TISI That's all I'm going to do THE COURT And I'm not going to conclude that it's you know so far out of the zone of his testimony that I shouldn't include that So I'll note your objections MR TISI And there is one other -- I'm going to only do this with one other document which is the next document And I'm sure it's the same -- 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 78 it's the same issue And it's really going to be quick and I'll be done with the direct MS QUINTANA My objections are the same THE COURT So I'll consider those -- what's the name of the document MR TISI We call it the Clean Mines Document But yes you'll see it THE COURT Clean Mines MS QUINTANA This one MR TISI Yes correct THE COURT All right Does it have a number MR TISI It's Exhibit Number 2561 and it's already been admitted in evidence Again this deals directly with the issues that they discussed with Dr. Castleman So if you look at it - THE COURT Okay So it's in evidence It's going to be - -it's proffered that you're going to be using it in the same manner MR TISI Correct THE COURT And I'm going to consider the defense to raise the same objection MS QUINTANA Correct Your Honor THE COURT And I'll overrule the objection MR TISI Thank you very much Your Honor MS QUINTANA That's fine Thank you Judge 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 79 THE COURT All right direct examination Where are you in your MR TISI I have this and then I was obviously going to deal with the question of the congressional testimony and then I'm done THE COURT Okay So quantify that for me please MR TISI Half hour -- 20 minutes half hour THE COURT Okay So what we'll do then I guess is just take a minute break We'll let whoever needs to use the restroom use the restroom Then we'll come back and we'll complete his direct If it goes a half an hour I'll probably break for lunch before -- MS QUINTANA Honor Okay That's perfect Your MR TISI Honor Sure No problem Thank you Your THE COURT Court's in recess until 11:50 MS QUINTANA Okay THE COURT Thanks Thereupon a recess was taken after which the proceedings continued as follows THE COURT You can all be seated All right Are we ready to continue 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 80 MR TISI Yes Your Honor MS QUINTANA Your Honor I have one more objection I would just like to put on the record after I review these letters THE COURT Okay MS QUINTANA So the letter that Dr. Castleman received from Johnson & Johnson regarding the McCrone Laboratories was dated August 2nd 1971 That was the response The document that Mr. Tisi wants to ask him about now saying that you know Johnson & Johnson didn't send this to you is dated 1972. So it was -- this document was received by Johnson & Johnson after they wrote Dr. Castleman this letter And again they had no duty to you know supplement their response to him Same with Plaintiff's Exhibit 2561 which is the Windsor Minerals and Talc document That document is dated April 26th 1973. The document in which Johnson & Johnson represents to Dr. Castleman that the talc comes from our own mines and talks about the quality is March 7th 1972 So both of these documents come after the dates that Johnson & Johnson had written to Dr. Castleman on these topics 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 81 MR TISI Your Honor just to be clear he was communicating -- I think the record will show he was communicating constantly with numerous scientists in this whole timeframe I'm simply going to ask him to read a letter that's already in evidence THE COURT So that's what I was going back to what you told me That's what I thought you told me So you're not going to ask - you said - the transcript says I'm not going to ask any questions about it MR TISI I'm simply -- I will lay the foundation Is this one of the labs that they talked about THE COURT Yes MR TISI Is this in the timeframe between '71 and '75 What does it say It's already in evidence THE COURT And I'll note your objection Based upon that proffer I'll overrule the objection and allow you to do that based on your representation you're not going to be on it MR TISI I will not MS QUINTANA Thank you Judge THE COURT All right We will have the jury 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 82 THE BAILIFF Yes Judge THE COURT And once she's getting the jury I think we have an issue from the jurors Tammy Castillo - MR TISI I'm sorry THE COURT Tammy Castillo is a juror She's Juror Number 6. And she told the court deputy that she needs to go out of town next Friday So I guess she said she didn't think we were going to be in session on Fridays which to some degree is what she was told but the -- I think we told them on day one it was going to be possible on the 3rd But I'm just letting you know that I don't want to get into a big discussion about it right now I think you said you wanted to call Dr. Lopes that day MR UUSTAL Yes sir THE COURT We will need to address that with the juror before the end of the day MR UUSTAL Okay MS QUINTANA Your Honor I apologize have a motion to make at this time I do Your Honor the defendants are moving for a mistrial based on Dr. Castleman's testimony outside the scope of his opinion - or outside the scope of 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 83 a lay opinion fact witness He's testified to multiple things that only an expert can testify to So at this time I'm moving for a mistrial THE COURT Okay That motion is denied MS PIERSON Your Honor also I think I had mentioned there was some mislabeling of some of the last of the exhibits on the exhibit list And we have a list for the clerk THE COURT The clerk left So if we could do that when she gets back MS PIERSON Thank you Your Honor The jury panel entered the courtroom after which the following proceedings were had THE COURT All right You can be seated and welcome back members of the jury Dr. Castleman is continuing on the witness stand I'll remind him he's continuing under oath At this time Mr. Tisi you may continue with your direct examination MR TISI Thank you And I'll try -- because everybody is wanting to get their lunch I'm going to try to speed it up for you BY MR TISI Q.

That's correct Q. All right For the record this is a document from -- to Johnson & Johnson from Walter McCrone and Associates Do you see that A. Yes And the date is 1972 Do you see that A. Yes Is that in the time frame that you were having this forth with scientists at Johnson & Johnson A. Yes Q. Okay And this is the laboratory -- I think in the first letter you got from Johnson & Johnson is this one of the laboratories they specifically mentioned as saying that the - -the talc was asbestos A. It was one of the laboratories Johnson & Johnson's letter mentioned in that connection Q. Okay All right And I'm going to ask you simply to read for the members of the jury what this report says I'm not 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 85 going to ask you to comment I'm going to ask you to read it because it's already in evidence okay A. Yes Q. All right If you go to page - -the second page In the summary it says -- would you say what -- would you please read what the summary says A. Two samples of Johnson & Johnson's baby powder Batch Number 108T and 109T which correspond to the samples examined by Professor Seymore C. Druenne of New York University on behalf of the FDA have been examined by ray defraction light microscopy transmission electron microscopy and electron defraction to determine whether they contain any asbestiform minerals Both samples contain an insignificant amount of tremolite less than .5 percent Neither sample contains chrysotile Q. If you go to the next page in the middle of the page it says -- under light microscopy there's a sentence at the end of the paragraph Would you read it to the members of the jury A. The total tremolite content of the two samples would be approximately 0.5 percent for 108T and 0.2 to 0.3 percent for 109T Q. And if you look at the last page it is 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 86 report from - -there's a note from Dr. Nashid Do you see that A. Yes Q. Okay And can you read the last sentence of that note from Johnson & Johnson A. Levels are extremely low but occasionally can be detected optically This is not new Q.

It says It is our joint conclusion that we should not rely on the clean mine approach as a protective device for baby powder in the current -- thanks -- in the current asbestos or asbestiform controversy We believe this mine to be very clean However we are also confident that fiber forming or fiber minerals could be found The usefulness of the clean mine approach for asbestos only is over Q. All right On the second page there's a Section B. Do you see that A. Yes Q. Okay Would you please read for the members of the jury what J said internally in 1973 during the time frame that they were communicating with you beginning with the phrase Occasionally A. If you could blow that up that will be easier for me MR TISI It's right here Do you see that At the very bottom of Section B.

Okay Now let's switch topics for a minute and I think I'll be done You mentioned before that you testified before Congress in this time frame Would you remember when that was A. Yes It was in February of 1973 Q. Okay Before I talk about that I'm going to show you a document which we've had marked as 3414 and it's a document that came from Johnson & Johnson's files Do you see that at the bottom there's a Johnson & Johnson Bates number I'll represent to you that that indicates it comes from their files A. Yes MS QUINTANA And Your Honor I'm going to renew my objections on this as to outside the scope 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 89 relevance and improper opinion MR TISI This concerns -- THE COURT The objection is to him asking Dr. Castleman questions about this document that's in evidence MS QUINTANA Correct Your Honor THE COURT Then I'll overrule that objection BY MR TISI Q. On the hand side it says From the desk of WHS Ashton Do you see that A. Yes Q.

You just want to leave it as Plaintiff's 452 Is that -- MR TISI That's fine Judge MR UUSTAL Yeah because otherwise it would -- we would object if the defense starts moving in exhibits But since that's our exhibit we don't care THE COURT You'll agree to it MR UUSTAL Yeah THE COURT All right MR UUSTAL Because it's a plaintiffs exhibit THE COURT Okay All right MS QUINTANA The other thing Your Honor is that we looked at the realtime over lunch and we would ask that Your Honor would expand the limiting instruction to Dr. Castleman's testimony in general not just to the Congressional hearing given that he has given quite a few -- what I interpret as expert opinion So we would just ask that -- 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 99 THE COURT Write out exactly what you want me to say MR TISI Your Honor we would object to that THE COURT Well let's see exactly what she wants to say MR TISI Okay But I was really careful in saying what you meant at the time what you said at the time I wasn't asking what his opinions are now They're very different THE COURT I understand But I'm -- MS QUINTANA I just have to find it in the realtime Your Honor It was your exact limiting instruction Just that it's not limited to his testimony at the Congressional hearing It's his testimony as a whole that he's not an expert THE COURT Go ahead MR TISI Your Honor I just feel like that -- doing that would tip the balance You know it's almost like an admonishment as opposed to an instruction When you do something twice it taints the testimony when you do it that way THE COURT Okay Well I'm going to - if the defense wants a specific instruction you can propose it But if I deny it we'll make a record of that 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 100 I do -- I don't have the language in front of me on the realtime but I do believe I said that he's been called here as a fact witness MR TISI Correct THE COURT Not as an expert witness MR TISI Thank you THE COURT And I understand the defense point but I'm not so sure I need to put anything else But I'm happy to consider any specific language that you want me to instruct the jury on okay MS QUINTANA Understood Your Honor THE COURT Why don't you get going on the cross and then we can -- MS QUINTANA THE COURT Okay Yeah that's perfect do that in the next recess if that's okay MS QUINTANA Okay THE COURT So with that are you ready MS QUINTANA I am Your Honor THE COURT And so we'll have the jury please Doctor you're ready right THE WITNESS Yes Your Honor THE COURT Okay Thank you MS QUINTANA I'm just going to flip this so that it's clean if that's okay with you 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 101 MR TISI Of course Of course THE COURT And we need to talk to that juror I don't know Have you had any discussion about that I don't know what sort of flexibility you have MR UUSTAL That's a very difficult one We would at least like to find out you know what exactly she's asking for THE COURT Well she did the - -and I'm going to do that But she told the deputy that I think she's leaving Thursday night for an town work trip or something but we'll follow up at the next break okay So I'll talk to her about it privately The jury panel entered the courtroom after which the following proceedings were had THE COURT Okay You can all be seated And welcome back members of the jury We're ready to continue All the jurors are present Dr. Castleman is continuing on the stand under oath The plaintiff's counsel Mr. Tisi completed his direct examination so now I'll turn to defense counsel Ms. Quintana for examination You may proceed when you're ready 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 102 MS QUINTANA Thank you Your Honor EXAMINATIO EXAMIN NATION BY MS QUINTANA Q. Good afternoon Dr. Castleman A. Good afternoon Q. We have not met before My name is Kayla Quintana It's nice to meet you A. All right Q. Now you testified on direct examination about several letters that you exchanged between yourself and Johnson & Johnson in the 1970s correct A. Right Q. I want to talk a little bit about what you were doing at the time that you wrote those letters You graduated college in 1968 is that correct A. Yes Q. And so at the time that you wrote your first letter to Johnson & Johnson in 1971 you were in grad school A. That's right Q. Okay And at that time you had a degree in engineering is that correct A. Right Q. So I want to look through some of those letters I know we looked through them earlier and the 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 103 jury has already seen them MS QUINTANA Lawton can you pull up Tab 1 BY MS QUINTANA Q. Now this was admitted as Plaintiff's Exhibit 434 This is the first letter that you wrote to Johnson & Johnson dated July 25th 1971 is that correct A. Yes Q. Okay And this is handwritten is that right A. Yes Q. It looks like you wrote the letter on July 25th 1971 and then it was received by Johnson & Johnson on July 27th is that correct A. Yes Q. And at the time that you wrote this letter you were a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland A. Yes 0. You wrote to Johnson & Johnson in part because you were curious about talc in asbestos right A. Yes Q. And you believed that Johnson & Johnson was knowledgeable regarding talc A. Yes 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 104 Q. Okay In this letter in July of 1971 you asked Johnson & Johnson about the potential contamination of asbestos in talcum powder right A. Yes Q. Now let's look at another document going to be -- MS QUINTANA Tab 3 Lawton BY MS QUINTANA This is 2 This has been already introduced as Plaintiff's Exhibit 1033 This is a Johnson & Johnson internal memo dated July 28th 1971 Do you see that A. Yes Q. Now to be fair this memo was not sent to you correct A. Correct Q. This was Johnson & Johnson talking internally amongst themselves A. Yes Q. Now in this memo Johnson & Johnson is discussing your letter that they had just received a few days earlier right A. Right Q. And Mr. Tyrell acknowledges that you seemed to 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 105 have scientific knowledge far beyond the normal type of inquiry that they receive from the public A. That's what it says Q. So then he escalated the letter to Johnson & Johnson's R department to provide you with a more scientific response correct A. Yes Q. R stands for research and development to your knowledge is that right A. Yes Q. So three days after Johnson & Johnson received your letter they internally escalate the letter to their D department so that you would be provided with a scientific response true A. Yes Q. A few days later Johnson & Johnson sent you a response is that correct A. Yes MS QUINTANA Lawton can we pull up Tab Number 4. This is Plaintiff's Exhibit 436 BY MS QUINTANA Q. Do you see what's on the screen Dr. Castleman A. Yes Q. So let's take a look at Johnson & Johnson's response to you 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 106 It's dated August 2nd 1971 right A. Yes Q. So this was only a few days after you wrote to them originally correct MR TISI I'm sorry What exhibit are we looking at MS QUINTANA It's Plaintiff's 436 MR TISI I'm sorry Thank you MS QUINTANA Yeah no problem BY MS QUINTANA Q. This letter was written by Thomas H. Shelley Ph.D correct A. Yes Q. And he was the director of Central Research Laboratories at the time A. Yes Q. So as requested in the internal memorandum that we looked at Johnson & Johnson had a specialist from their research and development department provide you with a more scientific response correct A. Yes Q. In this response Dr. Shelley responded to your questions regarding potential asbestos contamination in Johnson's baby powder true A. Yes 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 107 Q. And let's take a look at what Dr. Shelley said Dr. Shelley tells you that there is no asbestos in Johnson's baby powder right A. Right Q. And to support this statement he cites some work performed by scientists at the Colorado School of Mines A. Yes Q. At McCrone Laboratories A. Yes Q. And Professor Fred Pooley at the University of Wales correct A. Yes Q. So a little over a week after Johnson & Johnson received your letter they responded by answering your questions and providing scientific support for their responses correct A. Yes Q. Now following this letter at some point again during that time period you write to Johnson & Johnson right A. Right Q. And I don't believe that we have a copy of that correspondence is that true A. I don't And I haven't seen it in - - produced 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 108 in the litigation either Q. Okay So you don't know exactly what you would have said right A. I don't know exactly what I wrote to them either Q. And you believe -- I think you testified on direct examination that it was like a postcard A. Evidently from the response to -- to the second communication it appears that it was a postcard Q. Okay So let's look at that response MS QUINTANA Lawton this is going to be Tab 6 BY MS QUINTANA Q. And this is Plaintiff's Exhibit 1688 So this letter is written on March 7th 1972 Do you see that A. Yes Q. And it's written by Steven Sawchuk M.D. who was an associate director of clinical research A. That's what it says Q. And to your understanding M.D. stands for medical doctor correct A. Yes Q. Dr. Sawchuk first apologizes for the delay in responding to your inquiry right 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 109 A. Yes Q. And then explains that your card was lost in interoffice transit but they recovered it shortly before his response to you right A. Right Q. He then tells you that for Johnson's baby powder the talc comes from Johnson & Johnson's own mines right A. Yes Q. Which he says were specifically selected for the quality of their talc A. That's what he wrote Q. Dr. Sawchuk then explains to you the method used by Johnson & Johnson to wash its talc to ensure it is pure correct A. He makes reference to that yes Q. And he informs you that under careful analysis by independent experts the finished product has been shown to be free of asbestos Did I read that correctly A. Yes That's what he wrote Q. And now this was in March of 1972 right A. Right Q. A few months later you write your third letter to Johnson & Johnson right 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 110 A. Yes I think so Q. And sorry I can pull it up for you Dr. Castleman MS QUINTANA It's Tab 7 Lawton Plaintiff's Exhibit 1104 And it's BY MS QUINTANA Q. So you write to Dr. Shelley again correct A. Yes Q. Now let's look at your letter August 3rd 1972 A. Yes This is dated Q. You tell Dr. Shelley When I was doing research on asbestos at Johns Hopkins I asked you some questions about Johnson's talc and you sent a very informative reply Do you see that A. Yes Q. At this point in 1972 you agree that Johnson & Johnson's reply to your letters was informative A. Well I I believed them and I was accepting what they had told me Q. You go on to say It is apparent that Johnson's talc is free of asbestos right A. That's what I wrote Q. You then inquire about individuals who are 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 111 occupationally exposed to talc such as the miners and millers of talc right A. Yes Q. And you tell Dr. Shelley that you need research of at least 100 men who have had occupational exposure to talc which commenced at least 20 years ago A. That's what I wrote yes MS QUINTANA Lawton can we pull up Tab 8 This is Plaintiff's Exhibit 1683 BY MS QUINTANA Q. So a week later on August 10th 1972 Johnson & Johnson responds to your letter correct A. Yes Q. They did not ignore you at the time is that right A. Right Q. Dr. Shelley here was responding to your inquiry regarding the talc miners right A. He was responding to my August 3rd letter Q. Right Which was regarding talc miners right A. Yes Q. And so he informs you that Dr. Hildick is on vacation but will write to you shortly upon his return right 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 112 A. That's what he said Q. And he did this he said because the information you requested was largely medical in nature right A. That's what he wrote Q. And that's why they were having Dr. Hildick respond to you correct A. That's what he said 2. So then about a month later on September 19th 1972 you received another letter from Johnson & Johnson And this is Plaintiff's Exhibit 744 MS QUINTANA Lawton it's Tab 9 BY MS QUINTANA Q. Do you see that Dr. Castleman A. September 19 1972 is the date of the letter that I was sent Q. And this letter was sent by Gavin Hildick M.D. the director of clinical research at Johnson & Johnson at the time correct A. Yes Q. Okay So Dr. Hildick begins by thanking you for bringing to Johnson & Johnson's attention your concern about the possibility that talc by itself may be a carcinogen right A. Yes 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 113 Q. And he explains that because Johnson & Johnson markets talc it had a real concern right A. Yes Q. So he tells you that the company has been monitoring on a continuing basis the world literature on the biological activity of talc right A. That's what he said Q. He states that They are primarily interested in determining whether the cosmetic use of talc can cause any harmful effects right A. That's what he wrote Q. And he tells you at the time that the company had no real reason to believe that talc alone will induce neoplastic changes right A. That's what he wrote Q. Dr. Hildick then provides you with some points that support Johnson & Johnson's position that pure talc is not a carcinogen correct A. He -- he wrote that yes Q. And he provides you with I believe four bullet points is that right You can only see two on the screen but there are four total MS QUINTANA the other two Lawton if you'll scroll down to 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 114 THE WITNESS BY MS QUINTANA Yes there are four Q. At that time Dr. Hildick also addressed your request for the records of 100 men who were occupationally exposed to asbestos correct A. No I wasn't asking for the records I was making a suggestion about the kind of study that I thought would be needed Q. Right And he responded to that right A. Yes Q. So he explains to you that it might not be feasible to pull those records together true A. I'm looking for the part that you're referring to Q. In the context of the entire paragraph what he's saying is that that might not be feasible but then he gives you some other alternatives right A. Well he talks about it being pertinent but consuming to gather that kind of information Q. Right And so he tells you that because it was consuming Johnson & Johnson instead was currently following an extensive epidemiological survey of the cause of death in a large group of industrial workers exposed to talc right A. That's what he -- that's what he wrote 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 115 Q. And he writes to you that this is being done with a view to determine whether they differ from other appropriate populations right A. That's what he said Q. He says In addition to that Johnson & Johnson was attempting to obtain data on the cause of death in talc miners right A. Yes Q. And again that they were doing that to determine if the cause of death differs from other populations right A. That's what he said Q. Dr. Hildick then concludes this letter by telling you Thank you for your interest in writing to Johnson & Johnson and that he looked forward to supplying you with pertinent published data as they become available right A. That's what he wrote Q. So I believe we determined that this was your fourth letter to Johnson & Johnson A. Q. again Does that sound right Third or fourth yes So a year later you write to Johnson & Johnson MS QUINTANA Lawton can you pull up Tab 10 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 116 BY MS QUINTANA Q. And this has just recently just been introduced as Plaintiff's 452 Do you see that A. Yes So this is a letter dated October 30th 1973 that you write to Dr. Nashid Ph.D. the director of science and information for Johnson & Johnson right A. Yes Q. And you tell the doctor that you read with interest a copy of his informative booklet called Talc Safety a Literature Review right A. Yes Q. Which you said was submitted to the FDA in March and you would be grateful if he would send you a copy right A. That's what I wrote Q. Now you see that this document was received by Johnson & Johnson on November 2nd 1973 Do you see that A. Yes MS QUINTANA BY MS QUINTANA Lawton can we pull up Tab 27 Q. This is Plaintiff's Exhibit 453 So less than two weeks later Dr. Nashid writes 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 117 back to you right A. Yes Q. This was on November 13th 1973 A. Yes Q. He thanks you for your letter and and sends you a copy of the talc safety literature review correct A. Yes Q. Now at some point in 1975 you write a sixth letter to Johnson & Johnson is that right A. Again if you can show me the letter Q. So I don't have a copy of the letter but this is in response -- or prior to your phone call with Dr. Bruce Semple Do you remember that A. I think my note about Semple which I have in front of me makes reference to another letter but let me just see Q. Okay A. Yes I had apparently written something to Dr. Hildick which we don't seem to have a copy of MS QUINTANA Lawton can you pull up Tab 11 which is the call transcript that Dr. Castleman was just reviewing It's Plaintiff's Exhibit 619 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 118 BY MS QUINTANA Q. This is what you were just reviewing right Doctor A. That's what I was just looking at just now yes Q. Okay And this was your last conversation with Johnson & Johnson during that '71 to 1975 time period right A. I believe so yes Q. So this was a phone call that took place between you and Dr. Bruce Semple A. Right yes Q. And according to your letter -- I'll strike that Dr. Semple called you in response to the letter that you wrote to Dr. Hildick right A. That's what is recorded here yes Q. And this was a phone call correct A. The note that I made was of a phone call yes I even wrote down his phone number Q. So during this call Dr. Semple told you about current studies on the effects of talc right A. Yes Q. And informed you of several reports that would be issued regarding the current effects of talc right 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 119 A. Yes Q. Which included studies on miners and millers is that true A. Yes Q. time Among other studies that were going on at the A. Well I don't know about others -- yes there's some mention about other studies down below Q. And to your knowledge you did not write to Johnson & Johnson again in the 1970s after this phone call right A. Right Q. So to recap those letters Dr. Castleman we just looked at several letters between you and Johnson & Johnson in the 1970s right A. Yes Q. You would agree that every single time that you wrote to Johnson & Johnson back then they responded to you true A. That appears to be the case yes Q. And not just any employee responded right A. Right These were people who had some degree of knowledge and sophistication in the areas that I was inquiring about Q. Right So you received responses from 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 120 Dr. Shelley who was the director of Central Research Laboratories A. Yes Q. Dr. Steven Sawchuk the associate director of clinical research A. Yes Q. And from Dr. Hildick who was the director of clinical research right A. Yes Q. You would agree that during the time that you were writing to Johnson & Johnson they provided you with timely responses to your letters right A. The responses were timely yes Q.

Dr. Castleman do you recall giving a deposition in May of 2016 A. No. I get deposed a lot I don't recall every deposition Q. Okay If I showed you a copy would that help A.

So Doctor you were asked And you partly funded your education with money you were making doing work on the plaintiffs side correct MR TISI Objection Objection Your Honor -- go ahead THE COURT Overruled BY MS QUINTANA Q. And you say Well it was most -- I mean I made income from other sources but that was the largest source of income during the time I was in graduate school Did I read that correctly A. I was talking about my doctoral studies not my master's studies Q. Okay 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 123 A. The doctorate studies were in the 1980s Q. Understood You mentioned on direct a publication by Kleinfeld correct A. I did Q. And that was something that you had written to Johnson & Johnson about A. Right Q. That publication dealt with talc miners and millers at the New York Gouverneur line right A. Yes in New York State Q. And you are aware that that mine was for industrial talc correct A. I'm not sure that they limited their sales to anybody that didn't want to buy I've certainly come across their talc being used to make various types of tiles and other products but I don't know that it was limited to industrial talc I said I've never seen -- I've never heard of any -- any records of all the customers for the talc that came from those mines Q. Understood But either way that entire study was about the New York Gouverneur line right A. It was about the people who work as miners in those mines 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 124 MS QUINTANA for one second Your Honor Court's indulgence THE COURT Sure MS QUINTANA Thank you BY MS QUINTANA Q. Dr. Castleman the last question I have for you you mentioned on direct a book that you wrote called Asbestos and You right A. It was a report yeah We sold it as a booklet for the Center for Science in the Public Interest and it was also entered into the record at the Senate hearing Q. And during the time that you were corresponding with Johnson & Johnson in the 1970s you never sent them a copy of that correct A. I'm pretty sure I didn't MS QUINTANA Thank you Your Honor No further questions THE COURT All right Redirect examination MR TISI Yes Your Honor Just very briefly The following discussion was had at sidebar out of the hearing of the jury panel MR TISI Yeah I don't want to run afoul of your rulings but it seems to me that questions were asked of the witness that would suggest that they 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 125 were being forthcoming with -- with the witness I -- THE COURT I don't understand they were being forthcoming MR TISI Forthcoming they timely responded They gave him all the information he wanted All that kind of stuff And it seems to me -- THE COURT the 1970s Johnson & Johnson was doing that in MR TISI In the 1970s THE COURT Okay MR TISI And when I asked him for example the clean mine's document and the other document I never asked him the question do you think it's -- they were being -- they were being honest with you or maybe a different word might apply I think counsel's opened the door for me to ask that question now THE COURT Okay MR TISI I don't want to run -- I don't want to run afoul because -- THE COURT I respect that MS QUINTANA I disagree Judge I was reading directly from the documents I made sure not to stay anything - -the only question I asked 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 126 him is whether he thought it was informative which was in letter that he wrote and whether Johnson & Johnson responded timely And that is it That's as far as I went THE COURT Okay The proffer of Mr. Tisi on behalf of plaintiff seems to be that you want to elicit an opinion from Dr. Castleman regarding whether he believes they were transparent with him in corresponding MR TISI Correct THE COURT I'm going to sustain that objection by the defense Anything else MR TISI No. MS QUINTANA Thank you REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR TISI Q. Dr. Castleman just one or two questions before I -- before I sit down You were asked questions and I just want to clarify Long after you were -- you were dealing with Johnson & Johnson you have done work as a consultant for attorneys correct A. Yes 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 127 Q. Okay You weren't doing any of that at the time you were speaking to Johnson & Johnson were you A. No. MR TISI Okay No further questions THE COURT Is Dr. Castleman excused MR TISI Unless there's any redirect or any MS QUINTANA No recross Your Honor THE COURT All right Dr. Castleman have a good day THE WITNESS Thank you Your Honor THE COURT How will the plaintiff proceed next MR TISI Your Honor We want to read some admissions THE COURT Okay Are you ready to do that right now MR UUSTAL Yes sir THE COURT Are you going to play another witness at some point MR UUSTAL Yeah After this we have a witness by video MR TISI The only thing is the time -- given the timestamp Your Honor THE COURT Well if you need some logistical 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 128 time to set up I would excuse the jury for a moment MR UUSTAL Okay That might be -- THE COURT if you want to do that MR UUSTAL That would be great THE COURT Okay All right So we'll do that I'm going to ask the jury to step out except for Ms. Castillo Can you just remain seated for a moment I want to just chat with you about a scheduling matter No you can have a seat right there Not just with me with all of us Thank you so much for your service MS QUINTANA Your Honor do you mind if I come around just so I can see her THE COURT No not at all Absolutely Wherever you want So the court deputy told me that you have some scheduling issue that you wanted to bring to our attention THE JUROR Yeah I have a work trip that is from next Wednesday to Friday Because I thought we were going to be off the whole week and I didn't have to come in on Friday I didn't mention it for 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 129 that reason THE COURT Okay What time do you get back on Friday THE JUROR Like 6:00 p.m. THE COURT So that's -- is there any flexibility in your travel or -- because I know I -- in your defense I know I said that a number of times but I remember saying try to keep that October 3rd open THE JUROR Oh yeah I don't recall Yeah I guess I would just -- I can come back either -- THE COURT THE JUROR How far away are you going To Texas THE COURT again THE JUROR THE COURT the -- Okay What do you do for a living Me I work in accounting Okay So what's the nature of THE JUROR It's like annual conference we have -- THE COURT Like an educational conference - - or THE JUROR THE COURT -- in headquarters Or like a retreat of a -- 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 130 THE JUROR It's a company -- company conference So I guess I could reschedule and just come back Thursday night or Wednesday morning before we start THE COURT Dallas Yeah You're going to be where in THE JUROR Yeah THE COURT Dallas You're going to fly in and out of THE JUROR huh THE COURT from Dallas Okay So they have lots of flights THE JUROR Yeah there should be THE COURT Okay Well let me just talk to the lawyers more about it We just heard about this and we wanted to kind of get the contours of it with you THE JUROR Okay THE COURT And I'll give you some more direction in a bit okay THE JUROR Okay Thank you THE COURT We're going to send you back with the other jurors Ms. Adams is going to come around and open the door for you Thank you so much THE JUROR Sure 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 131 THE COURT She will be right there Okay I mean I've got to make some decision on that I guess I mean I guess I don't have to make it this moment but we're going to call the jurors if we have to change gears But what is everybody's position on that Do you need more time to sort that out MR UUSTAL Yeah So the situation we're in is Dr. Lopes wife is expecting a baby date is actually Monday THE COURT Monday the -- MR UUSTAL The 6th The due THE COURT Okay MR UUSTAL So it's actually -- the 3rd is closer than I would like to call it because he has said that he is not going to come testify once the baby's born So I tried everything I could to do it earlier than the 3rd but it was the only thing we could do So I would like to ask the juror to come back Thursday night THE COURT Okay MS QUINTANA Your Honor we agreed to have Dr. Lopes testify on October 3rd so I'm fine with that 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 132 THE COURT Okay How long do we think Dr. Lopes testimony would be MR UUSTAL I would say that I would aim for an hour but probably certainly within 90 minutes for direct THE COURT Who's crossing Dr. Lopes MS QUINTANA I am Your Honor THE COURT And I'm not going to limit you Any ballpark ideas is an hour cross hour and a half cross -- MS QUINTANA Yeah An hour hour and a half Your Honor I can't guarantee that THE COURT And I'm not looking for a guarantee I use that term ballpark estimate Okay We'll talk to her more at the end of the day MR UUSTAL Okay THE COURT I mean I could -- I don't know if there's much difference in her life really in coming back Thursday night or Friday morning It's probably better for us if she tries to come Thursday night and has a backup Friday morning if necessary So that's probably what we'll ask her to do MR UUSTAL Yeah I think she did offer to do -- 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 133 THE COURT She did All right So I'm just going to gather facts We gathered them Both sides agreed We will still try to target the testimony of Dr. Lopes on Friday October 3rd and we'll ask her to kindly make an accommodation in that regard MS PIERSON Your Honor there is also in the deposition designations -- there's some objections regarding some missing exhibits on it So that's the next thing we're going to do So do you want to do that now before we move to the next -- THE COURT Sure Is this Koberna MS PIERSON Yes And Karen my colleague here is going to be handling that THE COURT So how long did it come out to be MR STEPHENSON So that's the issue I think after we discuss exhibits and get those preadmitted -- I know that we're going to finish either video that is ready to play today THE COURT McKeegan is that his name McKeegan What was the other guy's name MR STEPHENSON Koberna THE COURT Koberna and MR STEPHENSON Koberna and McKeegan THE COURT McKeegan seems to be shorter than 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 134 Koberna MR STEPHENSON Yeah it is for sure I just think that we would have to get it started in couple minutes for it to be done I don't think we're going to I don't think that we would finish either video We would prefer to -- if the Court is is willing to do so we would prefer to start Koberna And we would have to stop and finish you know 30 minutes the next time we appear MR UUSTAL But that's okay -- I mean from our side THE COURT Okay As I said I have to leave -- I have to kind of be in my car by like 3:05 I just got a text from the doctor's office saying if I'm late they're going to cancel on me MS QUINTANA Well then I think Your Honor THE COURT No offense to this doctor MS QUINTANA Well and I think one of the jurors also had a flight at 5:00 o'clock THE COURT He does yes So we need to be kind of probably you know be wrapping up evidentiary proceedings by like 2:50 MR STEPHENSON Yeah And so Judge I -- 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 135 candidly I think we have some - -and we all appreciate Your Honor getting those rulings out to provide to us this morning THE COURT Yeah I have some comments on that too when we're done -- MR STEPHENSON Understood Judge THE COURT -- on the process MR STEPHENSON I do think we'll need a few minutes because Toby's been working diligently to get the cuts THE COURT Have they seen it yet MR RUKAJ I haven't had a chance to review the whole video I've reviewed the clip report It so far appears to be accurate MR STEPHENSON Unless they need to see the entirety of the video I think they can track while we're playing it to make sure everything is appropriate I probably need five minutes to discuss the exhibits and then you know we'll be ready to roll THE COURT Okay Then do you want to do that right now MR STEPHENSON If we could Judge THE COURT All right Let me find my comments that I made on here 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 136 Yeah so I don't know how many more of these there are I think you told me there's a lot is that true MR UUSTAL Yes sir THE COURT Yeah And you know it's kind of like a double sword if that's the right term I mean this print is so small on these things and I have to read all of this MR UUSTAL Well it's not -- THE COURT So I don't know if there's any way to get the bigger pages And you know not a problem It's just with bigger pages I get more binders right So I mean -- but I am really getting to the point if I have to read a lot of these -- it wasn't that big of a deal in my younger years but it's really hard to read MR STEPHENSON Yeah Judge I understand and we will certainly give you the full transcripts from here on out I would just you know say that the next video that we plan to play after these two witnesses is going to be Hawkins and we had an hour and 20 minutes of designations on day one The defense had about 20 or 30 minutes of counters right Then what happens is you have day two They 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 137 designated four hours and 20 minutes I think And it's not just a continuation of depo day one It's Dr. Hawkins please state your full name -- it is a blown -- THE COURT Well I'm going to read it And you've all made that argument and I understand I didn't really see that there was a substantial disconnect in the two that I dealt with yesterday MR STEPHENSON Yeah those are different I would agree THE COURT Yeah So to the extent the plaintiff was asking that to be shuttled to the defense side I just didn't think that that was appropriate with these Koberna and what's his name MR STEPHENSON McKeegan THE COURT McKeegan But I'll certainly consider your position when I go through it on the next one But I'll have to read through it at some point one way or the other MR STEPHENSON In all candor Judge we do have more binders that we're ready to present to you I just - THE COURT And I'll take those I want to get going I mean I don't want -- I'd like to try not 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 138 to do these at the last second MR RUKAJ Well I just want to give the Court some comfort We've actually had some discussion about the next two depositions which are much more lengthy than the other two THE COURT As you can see I overruled about 98 percent of the objections to this MR RUKAJ With the clarity of your objections we've - THE COURT Yes MR RUKAJ For Hawkins specifically I think we had five objections based off of a prior cut that was ruled on another case I think we're close to agreement and with the understanding of your rulings now we can go to the Mann one And I've already told opposing counsel I think given your rulings some of our objections on Mann are likely going to be overruled and we're not going to ask you to rule on those again I've told them we can go back and come to agreement now that we have guidance for them THE COURT So if you have an agreement that's fine MR RUKAJ Yeah THE COURT And we can do those in open court 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 139 in all honesty if there's something that's real narrow MR RUKAJ For one of the -- THE COURT If you can show it to me I'll make MR RUKAJ The big Hopkins one I think we got down to five objections across the entire thing THE COURT Okay MR RUKAJ But we might even have more agreement after your ruling thus far So we'd like to hope to not make you rule on every single page and line in this case THE COURT MR RUKAJ Okay Yeah I appreciate that sentiment THE COURT The other thing is there was some inconsistency with the objection code that one side was using kind of such different labeling I figured it out MR RUKAJ I think we're moving away from objection codes now THE COURT Okay MR RUKAJ -- on these bigger ones and it's just going to be full words THE COURT Okay Good That's fine No problem 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 140 MR RUKAJ Just so there's less ambiguity And to the extent we have agreement and there's residual objections we'll leave those in full terms THE COURT It really hasn't come into play but it has in the past two The eye issue that I raised the dark green and the black are just so close to each other To the extent there's going to be a need to distinguish the two -- again MR STEPHENSON Yeah THE COURT could be used -- maybe some different colors MR STEPHENSON Understood Judge And my last thing that I would say is just while I certainly am working very well with my colleague on the other side if we're not able to reach agreement we're not going to be in front of you Judge -- in front of Your Honor again until next Friday My only fear is that if we don't go ahead and give you some binders today -- THE COURT No I'll take them today MR STEPHENSON All right Fair enough And we will continue to work THE COURT And I'm going to be here doing special sets all next week So if parties need 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal

Thank you Judge THE COURT Okay MR STEPHENSON And so we're prepared and ready to play and introduce these exhibits right now But I will defer to counsel if they need more time to take a look THE COURT MR RUKAJ Okay Give me two minutes THE COURT Okay MR RUKAJ A lot of these I think are objections that have already been -- THE COURT Let's just take five minutes and everybody can -- including the court reporter can have a break for a few minutes and we'll come back and we'll finish up Thank you so much MR RUKAJ Thank you THE COURT Court's in recess MR STEPHENSON Thank you Your Honor Thereupon a recess was taken after which the following proceedings were had THE COURT Are you ready MR UUSTAL Do you guys have objection 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11

rulings we only have objections to four documents and they all kind of fall in one bucket -- THE COURT MR RUKAJ Okay -- or three of them in one bucket and one in another THE COURT All right MR RUKAJ First is the baby camp video H wasn't sure if Your Honor had a chance to watch that video THE COURT I haven't watched it no MR RUKAJ Okay So we would maintain our objection to the baby camp video THE COURT Do you want to show it to me MR RUKAJ We have a flash drive here we can hand Your Honor There's two aspects of this baby camp video There's the video itself and then there's a PowerPoint presentation that goes with it In our designations we maintained objections to this testimony coming in largely because this is 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11

How long is it MR RUKAJ It's about a few minutes long I mean it depends -- it's a training video for internal salespeople at J THE COURT What's your objection MR RUKAJ Our objection is it's irrelevant It's unduly prejudicial It doesn't - THE COURT The 401 403 objection MR RUKAJ It also contains hearsay within hearsay THE COURT Okay MR STEPHENSON May I respond Judge THE COURT Yeah but I can't rule on it unless I look at it MR STEPHENSON Well understood THE COURT I know that MR STEPHENSON But just to give you a little context you did review the transcript -- THE COURT I did MR STEPHENSON -- where the video is discussed in detail THE COURT I know I understand 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 144 MR

excluding that video But I may exclude part of it MR TISI Okay THE COURT And that was the ruling I made I think in the depos yesterday that I did sustain the objections when they were talking about revenues and size Because I made a pretrial ruling I thought on that MR RUKAJ Yeah So golden egg -- revenues THE COURT No I'm not - - golden egg is coming in MR RUKAJ Very well THE COURT But 23 billion in revenue that is what I think I sustained in the objection and in the testimony MR RUKAJ Yes THE COURT And I would sustain it as to that 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1

associated with that video that has a litany of financial documents And then there's other documents talking about sales figures and targeted advertising and success in profits that we have issues

speak to all of these things THE COURT Okay MR STEPHENSON So Judge your rulings were your rulings When we did the designations there are portions of these PowerPoints that are not played in the

to that not coming in but I understand your rulings and we just would preserve that objection THE COURT Okay I haven't seen the documents MR STEPHENSON Yeah well I will just stipulate that to the extent that the exhibits that go in with Koberna that are not played in the - designations -to the extent those reference sales and financial figures I would agree that based on your rulings those have to come out and be redacted without prejudice if somehow they become relevant later on THE COURT Okay All right So that would be the ruling then And are you ready to -- MR STEPHENSON So if I may consult THE COURT Of course MR RUKAJ Yeah just to make sure that the video play is in line with your ruling we have to check the video play -- THE COURT Yeah that's going to have to get redacted MR

candidly nobody is going to look at the title of this pleading It just -- THE COURT It was just the title of the case that he was testifying in MR TISI It was the MBL It was the MBL THE COURT It was the MBL MR TISI Yeah THE COURT So what do you want me to do MR RUKAJ I don't know how many pleadings they intend to show My understanding from the testimony it would just be the subjects and what he was prepared to talk about If there's a quick fix we can do that's great But I just got the -- THE COURT Does this happen a lot MR STEPHENSON No. MR TISI been cut Before you do that it should have 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 159 MR RUKAJ I told you we could cut it down I just don't -

frankly based on Your Honor's ruling it shouldn't be -- I understand if he's going to be talking about the topics that he's prepared to in this - THE COURT You should have brought it up to me five minutes ago MR RUKAJ I didn't see the video I haven't had a chance to watch the video THE COURT That's why I said you should watch 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 160 the video MR RUKAJ I would be happy to think I would -- I just don't THE COURT I -- your suggestion We're just going to regroup So we will come back on another day and publish it Do you want to bring these to Mr. Uustal about scheduling it for the moment Is there something else you want to do Mr. Stephenson suggested that maybe they need to watch this to avoid us being a jack during the sidebar on these issue And he needs to watch the video So is there anything else you want to do Otherwise I'm content with making sure this guy gets his plane We can talk housekeeping amongst ourselves MR UUSTAL What's the objection THE COURT I made an in limine ruling so that there's no reference to any other lawsuits I just held up I guess the pleadings But I'm not going to -- I'm not going to make a ruling on it yet because it's going to come up again apparently and one he hasn't seen the whole thing So I'm going to let him watch that 800-726-7007 Veritext Legal Solutions 305-376-8800 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 161 For 15 minutes of time it's not worth -
