Market-Moving News 🔎
⚖ Federal Judge Dismisses Tylenol Autism, ADHD Lawsuits
In a significant decision, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan ruled against over 400 consolidated lawsuits targeting Tylenol and generic acetaminophen manufacturers.
The plaintiffs claimed that using the pain reliever during pregnancy increased the risk of autism or ADHD in children, but the judge found their scientific evidence unreliable.
💼 Case Details:
Judge Cote criticized the plaintiffs' scientific approach as “unstructured,” prone to selective data use, and failing to address the complexities and inconsistencies in their data.
The defendant manufacturers, including Kenvue [KVUE +2.0%], argued that autism and ADHD are genetic disorders, with no conclusive evidence linking them to in-utero exposure to acetaminophen.
🔬 Acetaminophen's Safety Profile:
Acetaminophen has been widely regarded as the safest pain relief option during pregnancy. Its label advises pregnant women to consult their doctor before use.
Kenvue and other drugmakers maintain that acetaminophen is one of the most studied medications and is recommended by doctors for pain and fever relief during pregnancy.
📝 Next Steps:
Kenvue announced plans to request the dismissal of these lawsuits, emphasizing the need to clarify acetaminophen's safety record.
This court decision marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over the safety of widely used medications during pregnancy, with significant implications for both consumers and pharmaceutical companies.
