Texas Seeks Restraining Order Against Tylenol For Alleged False Advertising
In the Thursday filing, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the makers of Tylenol of false advertising because the painkiller is promoted as safe to use during pregnancy.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a federal judge to issue a restraining order against the makers of Tylenol to force them to immediately stop advertising to consumers that in consultation with a doctor the pain reliever is safe for pregnant women and young children to use. Paxton made the request in a Thursday filing, one week after he sued the drug's makers, Johnson & Johnson and its corporate spin-off Kenvue, claiming that they deceptively marketed the over-the-counter medication to pregnant women despite alleged links to autism and other disorders.
