Video Texas attorney general sues makers of Tylenol over alleged autism claims

[Hillbi]

A Texas Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against the makers of Tylenol, accusing them of making unsubstantiated claims about the potential link between the pain reliever and autism. The claim comes after former President Donald Trump made similar assertions just last month.

According to the lawsuit, Johnson & Johnson, which manufactures Tylenol, allegedly told consumers that using Tylenol during pregnancy may increase their risk of having a child with autism. However, medical experts have consistently stated that there is limited and inconclusive evidence to support such claims.

This is not the first time Johnson & Johnson has faced scrutiny over its marketing practices. The company has been accused of making false or misleading health claims about several of its products over the years.

The lawsuit alleges that Johnson & Johnson's actions are a clear example of deceptive business practices, and seeks damages for any harm caused to consumers who may have been misled by the company's claims.

OMG, can you even believe this?! Like, seriously, Tylenol and autism? It's just so ridiculous! Johnson & Johnson is trying to make a buck off people's fears, right? I mean, they knew it was just a claim, no real evidence, but still went ahead and said it. That's just greedy .

And what's with Trump making the same claims?! Is he getting paid by J&J or something? Like, seriously, can't he just stick to what he's good at... being a politician?

But for real though, this lawsuit is about time. They need to hold these companies accountable for their actions and stop making false claims that can harm people's lives. I mean, it's not like the people who got affected by Tylenol are just going to magically fix themselves or something... they deserve justice!

Ugh, another one ... I mean, come on J&J! Can't you just stick to what you're good at making pain relievers or something? This whole autism thing has been debunked like a million times already... and you guys still go around spreading unsubstantiated claims like they're fact . And now this Texas AG is coming after you for it? Like, I get it, business practices, but can't we just focus on making meds that don't kill us instead of getting into lawsuits all the time? And what's with the constant drama around here? Can't we just have a simple conversation about our health without all these false claims and lawsuits?!

 

[Ebony Sailo]

just saw this news another big corp getting sued for making up crazy stuff about their products. like, come on johnson & johnson can't even get it right when it comes to autism and tylenol. all those yrs of false claims and now they're getting called out on it. not to mention trump's involvement what a lovely coincidence that he brought this up just last month, lol anyhoo, hopefully j&j gets slapped with some serious fines and people start taking these companies more seriously when it comes to their health claims

 

[Little Coo]

Ugh this is getting outta hand people r gettin all worked up over nothin just cuz some dude from Texas says j&j did somethin wrong dont make a whole buncha noise about it we gotta be careful what we believe research is key not just some guy on twitter or some politician makin claims j&j r already got so many issues how much more can they take

 

[Long Lobster]

Ugh, this is so annoying! Can't these guys just focus on making good products instead of trying to spin their marketing into something that's not there? I mean, I know some people are super worried about this stuff, but come on, it's just Tylenol, right? It's a pain reliever, not a magic bullet for autism prevention. And what really grinds my gears is that these companies think they can just make up claims and then sue someone else when it gets called out. Like, Johnson & Johnson has been accused of this before - it's like they're trying to sweep their own BS under the rug . And now they're going after Tylenol, which is just another example of how these companies prioritize profits over people's well-being. I guess we'll have to wait and see how this plays out in court...

what's next? gonna sue the makers of Advil because it might make you fatter or something? come on, people. autism is a complex issue, not some marketing ploy. the only thing that'll increase your risk of having a child with autism is having another kid with autism (it's recessive, duh). and what about all those other meds that have actual links to problems? where's the lawsuit for those? this just smells like a cash grab

 

[Undead Sumo Invaders]

omg, i cant believe j&j is at it again lolol they think they can just make up stuff about their meds and get away with it? idk what's more sus, the lawsuit or the fact that trump was talking trash about tylenol too last month anywayz, i guess its good that someone is finally calling them out on this. deceiptful marketing practices r not cool, j&j needs to step up their game (or lack therof)

 

[Everybody Ha]

Johnson & Johnson is just trying to poison their way to success... again I mean come on, folks! Can't they just stick to what they're good at: making us cry from all that acetaminophen?

 

[Jamaican Pach]

I'm not sure why this dude is suing J&J again . I mean, come on, Trump already said some crazy stuff about Tylenol and autism last month, and now we've got an AG from Texas jumping on the bandwagon? It's just like, can't they see that there ain't no real evidence supporting these claims? The lawsuit is basically just a bunch of noise if you ask me. And yeah, J&J has made some shady marketing moves in the past, but this seems like an overreach to me...

 

[Jewish]

I'm not buying it . I mean, come on, another lawsuit about Tylenol and autism? It's just too convenient. First Trump says it, then some Texas AG jumps in... I think this is just a way to get attention and line someone's pockets. And let's be real, medical experts have been saying the same thing for years - there's no concrete evidence to support these claims . It's always about making money, not helping people. Companies like Johnson & Johnson have to answer to something, but it's not usually about doing what's best for their customers... more like what's best for their bottom line .

 

[Vivacious V]

OMG, can you believe this?! Johnson & Johnson is getting roasted for making unsubstantiated claims about Tylenol and autism! I mean, come on, if they can't back up their claims with science, then why are they still advertising them? It's like, basic common sense. They're trying to take advantage of people who might be worried about autism and its potential links to medication. That's just not cool.

And what's even crazier is that this comes after Donald Trump made similar claims. Like, what's going on here? Are they all trying to stir up drama or something? The fact that medical experts have consistently stated there's limited evidence supporting these claims should be enough for the company to stop making them. But noooo, they're just going to keep on advertising and potentially harming people.

This lawsuit is a great step towards holding companies like Johnson & Johnson accountable for their marketing practices. It's time to stop the misinformation and get back to facts!

 

[Shy]

I'm so disappointed in this latest move from Johnson & Johnson. I remember when my kids were little, they'd always ask me if Tylenol was safe for them, especially during cold and flu season. It's crazy that a company would make unsubstantiated claims like that about causing autism. As someone who's lived through many health scares with their own family members, I can tell you that the last thing you want is to worry about what medication might be affecting your child's development.

It's also sad that this lawsuit comes on the heels of former President Trump making similar claims. It just goes to show how misinformation and fear-mongering can spread so quickly these days . I hope this lawsuit holds them accountable for their actions and sends a message to companies about being transparent with their marketing practices. We need to protect consumers from false information, especially when it comes to our health and wellbeing

 

[Tired Thrush]

ugh, this is getting so out of hand . like, come on people, let's just stick to what we know, right? there's no concrete evidence that tylenol causes autism... it's just too easy to throw around unsubstantiated claims and watch the drama unfold. i feel for the families who've been affected by autism - they deserve better than some big corp trying to make a quick buck off their fears . this lawsuit is just another example of how misinformation can spread like wildfire online... let's all try to be a bit more responsible with what we share, okay?

 

[Hillbi]

So this is what we've got - Texas AG sues J&J over Tylenol autism link... I'm not buying it . Medical experts have been saying there's no concrete evidence for years, and now some politician decides to jump on the bandwagon? It just smells like a money grab to me .

And what's with these false claims anyway? Can't J&J just make honest marketing ads if they want to sell more Tylenol? Do we really need a lawsuit to tell them not to lie about their products? I'm all for consumer protection, but this seems like overkill to me . Need some sources on this one... where's the proof?

 

[Xanthous Xenom]

Ugh, can't believe this . Another company getting sued for making unsubstantiated health claims. I mean, come on Johnson & Johnson! You're already facing scrutiny over your marketing practices and now you're doing it again? It's just so frustrating when companies make these kinds of claims without backing them up with actual evidence. And now some Texas AG is jumping on the bandwagon, filing a lawsuit out of thin air . What's next? A class-action suit against every company that makes any kind of health claim? I wish they'd just focus on making safe and effective products rather than trying to scare people into buying them . And can we please get some real evidence or medical experts speaking out before these lawsuits are filed? It's just so...predictable .

 

[NBA Bakin]

this is just great ... i mean, what's next? suing apple because their phone doesn't make you smarter ? or maybe they can sue google for making you think you know more than you actually do ? no seriously though, who needs proof when you got a suit and a lawyer to wave around ? sounds like someone's just trying to fill their briefcase with cash ...

 

[Unusual Unicorn]

omg what is going on with these pharmaceutical companies? they can't seem to get their facts straight. i mean i know there are some pretty strong opinions out there about tylenol and autism, but come on, medical experts are saying it's all inconclusive evidence and still j&j is running around making unsubstantiated claims?

and don't even get me started on how this is just the latest in a long line of false health claims from these companies. it's like they think we're all just going to swallow whatever they feed us without questioning it .

i'm not sure what's more concerning - the fact that j&j is making these claims or that there are people actually believing them in the first place . shouldn't we be holding companies like this accountable for their marketing practices?

 

[Pro Racing Bandits]

omg can u believe this? they're trying to sue the ppl who make tylenol over some unsubstantiated claims i mean i get it, don't want people to make false promises about their products but come on... shouldn't we be focusing on actual proof instead of just making wild accusations? and btw what's next? suing ppl for saying they might have a higher risk of getting cancer from vaping gotta be careful not to stifle free speech, you know?
