AUSTIN, TX – The legal battles surrounding one of the world’s most common pain relievers are escalating. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a major lawsuit against healthcare giants Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and its consumer health spin-off, Kenvue, accusing the companies of knowingly marketing Tylenol (acetaminophen) as safe for pregnant women while failing to disclose potential links to neurodevelopmental disorders.
The lawsuit claims the companies violated stringent Texas consumer protection laws by misleading the public and failing to adequately warn of possible associations between prenatal acetaminophen use and conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD.
