Texas sues Tylenol maker due to “autism link” with no evidence

[Morphine Prince 109,653]

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the companies Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue, claiming that they “deceptively” marketed Tylenol to pregnant mothers and that the medication is tied to an increased risk of autism. Kenvue said in a statement that the medication is safe and the company will “vigorously defend” against the claims.

The lawsuit, dated Monday and filed in the District Court of Panola County, Texas, comes about a month after President Donald Trump publicly claimed that the use of Tylenol during pregnancy can be associated with an increased risk of autism in the child, despite decades of evidence that the medication is safe.

“Big Pharma betrayed America by profiting off of pain and pushing pills regardless of the risks. These corporations lied for decades, knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets,” Paxton, the state’s Republican attorney general, who is also running for US Senate, said in a news release Tuesday. “By holding Big Pharma accountable for poisoning our people, we will help Make America Healthy Again.”

The lawsuit claims that Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act because they knew that acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, “is dangerous to unborn children and young children” and “they hid this danger and deceptively marketed Tylenol as the only safe painkiller for pregnant women,” according to the lawsuit.

What’s so funny was that I was just thinking about how Tylenol should sue the Trump admin for defamation

Seeing this thread after popping two Tylenol

Let's make a deal! They can sue once Trump learns how to say "acetaminophen".

🚫 The leading cause of death for children in the US is being shot so we should implement some gun control and also 40 million+ Americans are about to lose their EBT entitlements when 20% of children already live in food insecure homes so we should maybe feed them kids too.

✅ Our dear leader's pet worm-brained monkey says OTC pain pills can make fetuses autistic so we're spending tax payer dollars to sue Tylenol.

Anyways I read on TikTok (so maybe false) that a friend of Trump is the CEO of some pharma business and that they are trying to discredit Tylenol to sell products from Trump's friend's pharma business instead

Autism isn’t a “disability” caused by our actions.

There's always a corruption element

[skaxboy 6,904]

Are they suing ONLY Tylenol or are they suing any other company who sells generics?

Who will get paid out if Texas wins this case? How can one prove they legitimately took an over the counter pill over the course of a 9 month period?

This was my fist thought when I heard about it. Seems like a slam dunk for them.
