Texas Sues Tylenol Makers Over Pregnancy Risks

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday sued Johnson & Johnson and its spinoff Kenvue, alleging they hid evidence that Tylenol use during pregnancy is linked to autism and A.D.H.D., and claiming Kenvue was created to shield liability. The companies reject the allegations, defending acetaminophen’s safety and noting Kenvue now holds Tylenol liabilities. It is the first state case to seize on President Trump’s recent assertions, even as a federal judge dismissed similar suits for lack of reliable science and regulators and studies report mixed, inconclusive findings. The F.D.A. is weighing a label warning that Kenvue opposes.
