Kenvue And Pharmacy Chains Ask Full Second Circuit To Undo Tylenol Ruling

Kenvue And Pharmacy Chains Ask Full Second Circuit To Undo Tylenol Ruling

The panel's July ruling revived more than 500 lawsuits by finding a Manhattan judge wrongly excluded three autism-link expert witnesses.

  • Kenvue Inc. and four pharmacy chains asked the Second Circuit (Docket 24-2360) on September 15, 2026, to rehear its 500-lawsuit revival ruling.
  • The case is captioned "In re: Acetaminophen-ASD-ADHD Products Liability Litigation" in the circuit's own docket.
  • The panel had ruled Judge Denise Cote wrongly excluded three of five expert witnesses in July.

Why it matters: Whoever controls which experts a jury may hear controls the verdict before the trial begins.
