Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a sweeping legal action against pharmaceutical giants Johnson & Johnson and its spin-off Kenvue, accusing them of concealing evidence that prenatal use of Tylenol (acetaminophen) may increase the risk of autism and ADHD in children. Filed on 28 October in Texas state court, the lawsuit seeks damages estimated in the 'tens of billions' and claims the companies violated consumer protection laws by marketing the drug as safe for pregnant women without adequate warnings.
