US EditionTexas AG sues makers of Tylenol over hiding alleged links to autism
- On Tuesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit accusing Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue of concealing evidence that Tylenol may increase autism risk when taken during pregnancy.
- Last month, President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. updated guidance advising pregnant women against acetaminophen, sparking controversy as major medical associations rejected the claims.
- Ashley Keller, who leads the consolidated cases, said dozens of personal-injury plaintiffs are in the federal multidistrict litigation, but a judge recently excluded the expert witnesses she planned to present, and that ruling is on appeal to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
- The lawsuit accuses Kenvue of being spun off to shield Johnson & Johnson's assets, and Paxton said `This is about corporate deception and protecting Texas families` as it seeks civil penalties and tens of billions in damages under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
- Large Swedish sibling study covering 2.5 million children found links disappear under sibling controls, while major medical associations dispute causal claims, and the FDA continues to list acetaminophen as safest during pregnancy.
