In our September 11th, 2023 Tylenol Autism Lawsuit update, Attorney Sean T. Keith discusses the FDA’s decision not to submit an opinion on the labeling of Tylenol.

Despite the FDA’s previous extension to submit an opinion, they have chosen to avoid direct involvement in the acetaminophen lawsuits.

While defendants reference a March 2023 FDA study to support their claims, our attorney Sean Keith highlights the limited data availability from the FDA and emphasizes that expert research challenges the FDA’s findings.

Sean discusses two (2) significant court orders that have been issued since the last update:

1. One affecting cases in Texas and California
2. The other related to the administrative aspect of the lawsuit.

Sean also continues to emphasize the importance of completing all required forms and documents for the Tylenol lawsuit (Acetaminophen MDL).

To save you some time, here are the key points discussed in our June 2023 Tylenol Lawsuit Update video:

• The court has issued two (2) significant orders since our last update in May 2023.
• The first order could potentially affect cases in Texas due to the state’s “Safe Harbor Act“.
  • The Safe Harbor Act protects retailers that follow FDA guidelines from being sued.
  • However, this argument was not successful when tried in California.
• The second order is related to the Plaintiff Fact Sheet, a form that plaintiffs need to fill out within a certain period of time from filing a lawsuit.
  • It is crucial for plaintiffs to complete all forms, questionnaires, and other onboarding documents as quickly as possible.

The Tylenol Autism Lawsuit is ongoing and our lawyers are talking to clients about their potential cases. 

In recent developments, a Texas judge granted a motion to dismiss failure to warn claims against major retailers like CVS, Target, and Walmart, citing a state law that protects distributors if FDA-approved packaging is used.

This decision halts failure to warn lawsuits in Texas but leaves other claims in progress.

In California, a similar motion was denied, indicating the outcome may vary depending on the state.

• Preemption is a hurdle in prescription drug and product liability cases.

In the following video Sean Keith provides an April update on the Tylenol acetaminophen litigation.

In summary, the litigation is very busy right now as documents are being exchanged and reviewed from the manufacturers of acetaminophen.

As a reminder, this case is a failure to warn case, alleging that manufacturers and retailers knew about the possible dangers of acetaminophen taken during pregnancy and failed to warn of that.

The manufacturers and retailers should have simply added one sentence to warn of the possible dangers for pregnant women.

The court approved a plaintiff profile form about 10 days ago. When cases get filed, plaintiffs will need to help fill out the plaintiff profile form, which will include using medical records to complete the form.

Litigation is ongoing and a ton of important work is being done, so we will release another update by the end of this month!

The Tylenol MDL is growing. Cases are being added by the dozens each month, and more developments are being made in the logistical approach to the litigation.

Just last month, a Special Master was appointed to gather claimant information.

This week an incredibly important decision was made by Senior U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in the Southern District of New York.

You can listen to the details of the update by watching the video below, which details the latest update in the Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit:

Acetaminophen Autism-ADHD Lawsuits are being consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the US District Court: Southern District of New York.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) certified the creation of an MDL that names the manufacturers of generic acetaminophen as defendants, including Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and other companies.

MDL is a legal procedure used in cases where injuries and causation are similar across several lawsuits, centralizing them in a single US District Court to make them easier to manage and ensure that there is a standard held across all similar cases in terms of court rulings.
