Texas Attorney General Sues Johnson & Johnson, Makers Of Tylenol, Claims Company Hid
Autism Risks
The company behind #Tylenol is gearing up for a legal battle.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson and its spinoff #Kenvue, alleging that the companies marketed Tylenol (acetaminophen) as safe for pregnant women while “knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets.” The suit asserts the companies concealed evidence linking prenatal or early-childhood exposure to acetaminophen with an increased risk of #autism and #ADHD. The legal filing follows recent federal guidance announced by President #Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which advises pregnant women to avoid acetaminophen due to concerns it may be linked to autism.
The defendants strongly contest the case. Kenvue stated: “We stand firmly with the global medical community that acknowledges the safety of acetaminophen and believe we will continue to be successful in litigation as these claims lack legal merit and scientific support.” In addition, Medical experts continue to maintain that there is no clear evidence proving a direct link between Tylenol and autism.
