<p>Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the makers of Tylenol for marketing the drug to pregnant mothers despite allegedly knowing that early exposure to the drug leads to an increased risk of autism, The Daily Wire can exclusively report.</p>
<p>Paxton has filed suit against Johnson &amp; Johnson and its former subsidiary, Kenvue, &#8220;deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers despite knowing that early exposure to acetaminophen, Tylenol’s only active ingredient, leads to a significantly increased risk of autism and other disorders,&#8221; a statement from Paxton&#8217;s office reads.</p>
<p>“Big Pharma betrayed America by profiting off of pain and pushing pills regardless of the risks,&#8221; Paxton said. &#8220;These corporations lied for decades, knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets.&#8221;</p>
<p>Paxton&#8217;s office accused Johnson &amp; Johnson of attempting to &#8220;silence the science&#8221; about the apparent association between prenatal and early childhood exposure to their acetaminophen products and autism and ADHD. It also said the company marketed Tylenol as a &#8220;completely safe pain medication for pregnant women,&#8221; while knowing about the association, which the office said is in violation of Texas’ consumer protection laws.</p>
<p>Texas is the first state to sue the makers of Tylenol after the Department of Health and Human Services trumpeted a link between prenatal acetaminophen consumption and the incidence of autism and ADHD in newborns.</p>
<p>“Taking Tylenol is not good. I’ll say it. It’s not good,” President Donald Trump said last month at a press conference with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</p>

<p>In the lawsuit, Paxton accuses Johnson &amp; Johnson of trying to &#8220;escape responsibility&#8221; for its actions by breaking off Kenvue as a separate entity after becoming aware of the Trump administration&#8217;s impending announcement.</p>
<p>“Seeing that the day of reckoning was coming, Johnson &amp; Johnson attempted to escape responsibility by illegally offloading their liability onto a different company,&#8221; Paxton writes. &#8220;By holding Big Pharma accountable for poisoning our people, we will help Make America Healthy Again.”</p>
<p>Paxton&#8217;s office says the pharmaceutical company &#8220;violated the Texas Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act by fraudulently transferring liabilities arising from Tylenol to a separate company, Kenvue, in order to shield their assets against lawsuits arising from the harmful impact Tylenol had on children.&#8221;</p>
<p>“We believe independent, sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism,&#8221; Kenvue <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/22/trump-tylenol-autism-announcement-kenvue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement last month. &#8220;We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the health risk this poses for expecting mothers.”</p>
<p>Paxton has taken on other large pharmaceutical companies, suing Pfizer over the COVID vaccine and Eli Lilly for allegedly bribing providers to prescribe its medications.</p>
<p>In 2024, Paxton — along with dozens of other states — secured a $700 million settlement with Johnson &amp; Johnson for misleading and deceptive claims related to its baby powder products that contained talc.</p>
