Kimberly-Clark to buy maker of Tylenol
Digest more
Kimberly-Clark is buying Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, after months of controversy around whether the medicine is linked to autism.
Not long after President Trump made his statement, Kenvue and Johnson & Johnson got into another complicated legal mess when the Republican state of Texas sued them. The complaint says that the companies didn’t tell people about the possible risks of taking acetaminophen while pregnant.
Even though Kenvue's stock was already in a tailspin before the FDA warned pregnant woman that Tylenol posed a health risk, there are still some lingering impacts to consider.
President Trump's health secretary said Tylenol should be used with caution during pregnancy, but solid data linking it to autism is lacking.
