Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced that his office has filed a landmark lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson and its spin-off Kenvue, accusing them of concealing potential risks tied to the use of acetaminophen (marketed as Tylenol) during pregnancy.
Filed on 28 October 2025, the lawsuit, which is the first of its kind by a US state, alleges that the companies violated Texas consumer protection laws by withholding evidence suggesting a possible link between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and autism or ADHD.
