This lawsuit comes a month after U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism.

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.

          Yeah, it’s much more probable that something that you take tylenol for is (one of) the culprit(s) here, not tylenol itself. Because the average US resident does not have the ability to think such complex thoughts, RFK is a nutjob and Paxton is corrupt as fuck, you get result like this. It’s embarrassing to watch.

              oh i meant that the american reading ability, which is closely tied to the education system, is averaging sixth grade; that also means they lack the education to analyze texts and information above what is written; things like intent of an author, what the context is and what someone wants to achieve with the published information are completely lost when you lack the ability to read above a certain level. this is completely homemade, mainly by republicans who like their voters easily controlled.

    OK! Good! FINALLY! Now that they’re pulling this shit, big companies have reason to fight back. I was wondering when Proctor and Gamble and Johnson and Johnson would start campaigning to get these psychos out of office, and this should do it.
