Texas AG Ken Paxton claims the makers of Tylenol failed to warn consumers about the risks of taking the drug while pregnant.
Experts dispute Trump’s autism claims about Tylenol
Medical experts are challenging President Donald Trump’s autism claims, defending Tylenol’s safety in pregnancy.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Oct. 28 he is suing the makers of Tylenol, claiming the companies failed to warn consumers about the risks of taking the drug while pregnant.
Paxton filed a lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson and its spin-off company Kenvue, claiming the companies withheld information about Tylenol’s links to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, violating the state’s consumer protection laws.
“These corporations lied for decades, knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets,” Paxton said in statement. “Additionally, seeing that the day of reckoning was coming, Johnson & Johnson attempted to escape responsibility by illegally offloading their liability onto a different company. By holding Big Pharma accountable for poisoning our people, we will help Make America Healthy Again.”
