Hundreds of lawsuits against Tylenol suddenly have a green light to keep going.
Unknown 2:20
A federal appeals court in Manhattan has revived more than 500 private lawsuits against Tylenol maker Kenview. Parents and guardians sued claiming Tylenol use in pregnancy could cause autism and attention hyperactivity disorder in children. The appeals judge says a district judge improperly excluded testimony from expert witnesses. The lawsuits were dismissed in December of 2024. Doctors and medical societies consider acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, the preferred treatment for pain and fever during pregnancy. Kenview has long maintained that Tylenol is safe and says there is no firm scientific evidence of such a link.

The GAO found consent documentation from consumers can easily be forged and that agents and brokers are still sharing their credentials. One recommendation is that agents be required to send someone a one-time passcode before making any changes to their health plans. Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News.
Elisa Brady 3:52
