Allegedly. There's really good evidence that asbestos was making its way into he product in the 1970s, but evidence starts to get really thin starting in the 1990s. This is a settlement after all, so I wouldn't call it the final word on the subject.
I think " b) whether talc itself is carcinogenic." is a much more interesting question, but probably hard to answer at this point.
