Kenvue Crashing?—New RFK Jr. Report May Blame Tylenol Use In Pregnancy For Autism!
Shares of Kenvue Inc., maker of Tylenol, dropped roughly 10% in early September 2025 after media reports—primarily from The Wall Street Journal—indicated that U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will release a forthcoming HHS report that likely links prenatal use of acetaminophen (Tylenol’s active ingredient) to autism. This decline followed investor concern over what such a regulatory conclusion could mean for Kenvue’s reputation, sales, litigation exposure, and overall risk profile. In direct response, Kenvue issued statements reaffirming its long-held position that there’s no proven causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, pointing to over a decade of studies and regulatory reviews (including by the FDA) upholding the drug’s safety under current guidelines when used as directed. The company emphasized that the allegations are speculative until the final report is published. For investors, this episode spurs fresh scrutiny of regulatory risk, potential legal fallout, and how sentiment alone can exacerbate valuation volatility, especially for a stock already under pressure from weakening organic growth and rising cost headwinds.
