1:00Now PlayingWhile Tylenol remains a recommended tool to treat pain and fever during pregnancy according to medical professionals, the state of Texas is suing the makers of the medication for allegedly hiding unproven links to autism and other disorders.
The lawsuit, from Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, echoes recent allegations by President Trump that the active ingredient in Tylenol, acetaminophen, poses a risk to children's brain development during pregnancy.
Scientists have found no such causal relationship. They have also stressed that further research is needed and individual patients should speak with their doctors. Kenvue, a spin-off of health care giant Johnson & Johnson, calls the lawsuit's claims baseless.
