Texas sues Tylenol makers alleging deceptive marketing to pregnant people
Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson and its spinoff company, Kenvue, alleging deceptive marketing of Tylenol to pregnant people, despite alleged risks of autism and ADHD in children. The lawsuit was filed in Texas state court. This action follows baseless claims by former President Trump that acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, can cause autism and ADHD in children. Johnson & Johnson created Tylenol, but since 2023, it has been sold by Kenvue.
