Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant.

This lawsuit, the first of its kind from a state government, comes a month after President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism. The announcement set off a wave of controversy in the health care community, and confusion among pregnant women unsure how they should manage fever and pain during pregnancy.

Why is Tylenol not suing RFK? I bet this is a ploy to help out a buddy who owns a competing pharmaceutical company. It's always a scheme with them.

More likely stock manipulation. Look for shorts before the filing.

Unless the judge is corrupt, Paxton will have to provide actual facts and evidence in order to win his ridiculous case. Merely calling acetaminophen a “possible” cause does not meet judicial standards. Unsupported crackpot guesses are not evidence. Neither are Facebook posts.

Unfortunately, J&J sucks, too. They just happen to have science on their side.

Lol! Cool. Show us the evidence behind these claims, then. This should be fascinating.
