Kenvue stock drops 10% on report RFK Jr. will link autism to Tylenol use during pregnancy
Shares of Kenvue fell more than 10% on Friday after a report that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will likely link autism to the use of the company’s pain medication Tylenol in pregnant women.
