Kenvue was J&J’s spin out of its consumer brands. Done to get rid of the baby powder liability.
RFK jr is now ‘walking that statement back’?
Damn! His credibility just took a big hit with me, not that he particularly needs to care what I think.
There is almost no way to ‘walk that back’.
The Genie of Doom was already released from the bottle, and will never fully return to containment again.
There will always be that centile of doubt and caution about Tylenol which was not there before his statements.
Tylenol is not safe for many people to take. If you drink and take it, you could destroy your liver. Take too much and you destroy your liver.
All drugs have side effects...take them if you need them, don’t pop them like tic tacs
Yes. Moderation is key. Besides, taking too much of most pain relievers will only raise the pain threshold higher, meaning you will require greater amounts or stronger dosages to achieve the same effect. Meanwhile, your organs are being worn down.
not the case on the talc - JNJ retains the US liability and Kenvue (now presumably KC) owns the OUS liability
