- A Texas judge on Thursday rejected Kenvue's KVUE.N bid to dismiss a lawsuit by that state's Attorney General Ken Paxton accusing the company of concealing autism and other risks to children when pregnant women use Tylenol.

Judge LeAnn Rafferty in Panola County, Texas denied Kenvue's request in a one-sentence order. Her reasoning was not immediately available.
