Texas AG sues Kenvue, J&J over 'deceptively marketing' Tylenol to pregnant women

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Tuesday that he is suing the two pharmaceutical manufacturers for allegedly deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers despite knowing of links to autism and other disorders.

Paxton sued the makers of Tylenol – Kenvue and its former parent company Johnson & Johnson – over the alleged deceptive marketing. He claims that the companies knew early exposure to the active ingredient in Tylenol, acetaminophen, was linked to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
