it isn't lawsuit in a traditional way.
there's no law in this country anymore. they are asking for a bribe
This timeline is so fucked that J & J somehow managed to be the good guy for once..
Less the good guy, more a target of a bad guy.
Johnson and Johnson is a huge, multinational pharma company with more money than God. They aren't going to be intimidated or extorted by this dumbass governor.
This case will get tossed in the discovery phase when the judge asks for scientific evidence and all the governor can provide are these whoo-whoo dipsh*t theories.
SpongeBob: "One Day Later"
WASHINGTON ‒ Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Oct. 29 that he does not have "sufficient" evidence to link Tylenol to autism, more than a month after the White House discouraged the medicine's use by pregnant women and young children.
Evidence does not show that Kenvue's pain medicine Tylenol definitively causes autism but that it should still be used cautiously, President Donald Trump's top health official told reporters. Last month, the president said U.S. health officials would recommend limiting Tylenol's use.
"The causative association… between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive," Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.
Well, THAT should make Discovery a whole lot easier. How does the underside of that bus taste, Abbot? Lol.
They're being sneaky.
As attorney general, Paxton has a different avenue into court than an individual trying to prove that Tylenol caused their child’s autism. While those lawsuits focus on personal injury claims, this suit hinges on two state consumer protection laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
“That overlaps a lot with the science and with the argument that is going on about Tylenol right now, but it’s ultimately a different burden of proof and different damages that we’re going to be seeking,” Keller said.
Not if the judge has been appointed by R.
Hillbilly Tyrannical Fascist Government

Monopolistic Corrupt Big Pharma Corporation
Who would win?
Stay tuned!
Pharma. Regardless of who's involved, being able to sue somebody based on made up bullshit is not a good precedent
Yes, but when was the last time these guys cared about "precedent"? I agree in thinking Pharma wins, but only because money. One CEO visit to the Whitehouse and some brown nosing and Trump will start saying how they're "good people".
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Wait the state is suing the company? Shouldn't it be the other way around? The company suing the CDC and RFK Jr. personally due to the clearly slanderous statements?
Hopefully Tylenol sues texas back for being malicious idiots.
Is there any science proving this? Could I sue "Buckley's Cough Syrup" because of my gut feeling that they caused my toenail fungus?
Short answer no. Also correlation is not causation Let's say child autism is correlated with infection at a certain age then it could be the infection and not the thing you took for the infection.
They are dumb fucks who cannot read studies. Remember COVID?
It's in the article. The short answer is NO.
a buddy of mine got a flu shot and then while walking out of the pharmacy he was hit by a car. Coincidence? No way.
I read this as "Tylenol sues Texas for libal"
Took me a few re-reads to understand the idiots spreading the libel are the ones suing. They're gonna get counter-sued real fast.
Unfortunate that the tax payers will shoulder the burden.
Edit: this is a strange way for a company to get a government subsidiary:
I’m not a lawyer but shouldn’t J&J be suing the Federal Government for making utterly unsubstantiated claims in an official announcement?
I think they’re waiting for the damages to really rack up. Then they can sue the taxpayer for billions and nobody can stop them.
We could put on a really big tinfoil hat and say that this is all a plan to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to J&J by way of crafting an airtight lawsuit for them to win and get awarded an absolutely massive payout.
It is hard to believe this is not an onion article. "We just made this up and now we are suing you for not warning people about the shit we just made up".
America is fanous for suing everyone and everything for a reason.
Yes, but no. Justice is expensive in the US. The legal system HATES pro se litigants (people that represent themselves), making it harder for them to get paperwork through the courts.
Those who do have "big money" lawsuits will get represented by ambulance chasing law firms.
People yell about Medicare for all, but the US really needs constitutionally guaranteed legal representation.
I can't wait for all these bullshit cases to get in front of judges. Some of them already have, and are getting tossed. The media should be covering it much heavier.
Are fucking insane? How on earth do they expect to actually win this lawsuit?
They don't. It's part flood the zone, part pandering to certain voters. Look what we do for you! A blue state wouldn't fight for your health like this!
Nothing will come of it but it's a positive distraction from the extraction of wealth that is currently happening.
Texas failing once again at using facts and science. They love to shoot themselves in the foot and blame others for making the gun that shot them.
Well, some lawyers are about to make a shit load of money as this drags out for a decade.
As usual our AG is being an ass
I'm all for it. Let's have discovery, let's shine a light on this stupidity.
God I hope texas eats a big old pharma dick on this one. I feel like they're just anti women at this point.
Tylenol is basically paracetamol, right? It's a generic drug. Why are they suing a specific brand?
Same exact drug, just branding.
It's because our batshit crazy administration decided to wage war against that particular brand, I suspect they refused to donate their million dollars to the pres' slush-fund.
This is what happens when you put conspiracy theorists into office: You get them suing or attacking organisations for things that aren't real.
It’s all fun and games until you realize discovery is a part of a lawsuit
Did their lawyers even pass the bar?
I hope somebody documents every penny Texas wastes on this frivolous crap.
There's no controversy in the health community!!! There's no link between acetaminophen and autism, period!
