RFK Jr. to claim autism link to Tylenol use in pregnancy, WSJ reports

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to claim in a report expected this month from the Department of Health and Human Services that low levels of folate, an important vitamin, and Tylenol taken during pregnancy are potential causes of autism, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal’s Liz Essley Whyte and Nidhi Subbaraman. The Tylenol brand name is owned by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a subsidiary of Kenvue (KVUE), which is down $1.87, or 9%, to $18.67 following the Journal’s report. Shares of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), which previously spun out Kenvue, are down about 1%.
