The state of Texas has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturers of Tylenol, Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue, claiming they concealed alleged risks linking the painkiller to autism. This action follows statements from Health Secretary Kennedy asserting there is insufficient data to support claims that Tylenol causes autism. The lawsuit comes during a politically charged climate, with various figures, including Trump and RFK Jr., expressing controversial views on the drug’s safety, particularly during pregnancy. As Texas AG Ken Paxton leads the legal charge, he faces criticism for leveraging these unproven claims amid his political agenda, igniting a debate about the implications of such allegations on public health and trust in pharmaceutical companies.
