It is the number of members in the class.

Which would just be people that got a relevant cancer that also used the product - that signed up to be part of the class.
People get cancer all the time. It’s very, very hard to prove a causal relationship.

Assumably this is why there’s a trial. J&J is willing to pay $9B to avoid one; this leads me to believe that they think they have a significant risk of having cancer be linked to their product.
