Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced Tuesday he will be suing drugmakers of acetaminophen for “deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers,” basing his accusations off President Trump’s unfounded claims that the medication could be linked to autism.
In an announcement, Paxton, who is challenging Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in next year’s midterms, claimed that Kenvue and Johnson & Johnson ignored evidence that acetaminophen could cause autism or ADHD.
