Texas sues Tylenol company over autism claims (www.texastribune.org)

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant.

This lawsuit, the first of its kind from a state government, comes a month after President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism. The announcement set off a wave of controversy in the health care community, and confusion among pregnant women unsure how they should manage fever and pain during pregnancy.

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".

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.

The media is fully captured by hard right idealogues.

Where do Americans learn to equate suing someone with winning a lawsuit? USA has the most lax rules on civil lawsuits, anyone can sue anyone.
