Kenvue stock rallies off record low after Trump press conference on alleged Tylenol-autism link
Kenvue stock rallied on Tuesday off a record low, after a White House press conference didn’t offer fresh evidence that could be used by plaintiffs to sue the maker of Tylenol for its alleged link to autism.
Tylenol, a popular over-the-counter pain reliever whose active ingredient is acetaminophen, is made by Kenvue, a spinoff of Johnson & Johnson.

“Don’t take Tylenol,” Trump instructed pregnant women around a dozen times during a White House news conference. He also urged mothers not to give infants the drug, known by the generic name acetaminophen in the U.S. or paracetamol in other countries.
