Have to be honest, never heard of Kenvue before today, always thought Tylenol was Johnson & Johnson or one of the other giant companies.

1992 ad showing J&J.

Aha! J&J spun off Kenvue 2 years ago, kind of like what IBM did with Lenovo and Lexmark decades ago.

Glad I didn't fall into an alternate universe or something!

On November 12, 2021, Johnson & Johnson announced that it would spin off its consumer health division as a separate company, in an effort to streamline operations.[3] The new company would assume well-known consumer brands such as Aveeno, Band-Aid, Neutrogena, and Tylenol, while Johnson & Johnson would focus on its pharmaceutical and medical device sectors

Interesting, so a consumer division vs. pharmaceutical division. Makes sense! Weird this is how I found out...

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Such a horrible spinoff name. Sounds like Sears’ Kenmore.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was CBS’ answer to Barbie TV….

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Makes sense when you understand limited liability.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

So are they claiming is it just Tylenol or any acetaminophen?

[–] RedRibbonArmy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Trump tried to say the word acetaminophen, but gave up and just said Tylenol. That's truthfully what happened.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Aberbiajan causes autism.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I don't think there's anything special about the pills in Tylenol, not sure why they insist on namedropping that brand.

Edit

https://www.tylenol.com/products/headache-pain-relief/tylenol-extra-strength-caplets

Acetaminophen 500 mg

Pain reliever/fever reducer

 Inactive Ingredients

carnauba wax*, corn starch*, FD&C red no. 40 aluminum lake, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, modified starch*, polyethylene glycol*, powdered cellulose, pregelatinized starch, propylene glycol, shellac, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide

*Contains one or more of these ingredients

Compared with Walmarts generic, from app, won't let me copy/paste:

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I see, perhaps the goal indeed is a stock manipulation.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Or at best, Trump just can't pronounce "Acetaminophen". 😉

Edit Nailed it!

To be fair, I did hit that with one of my own prescriptions. Had to Google how to say it.

Eplerenone.

Ep-ler-e-no-ne.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

More likely extortion and Kenvue said no.

[–] candyman337@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

WHAT IS THIS TITLE??? FACING SCRUTINY??? That's intentionally legitimizing the baseless report released by RFK's department of eugenicists

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I can't decide if I think this is them once again devaluing a stock so he and all his friends can cash in before retracting their claims, or if they just really want women to be miserable during pregnancy.

Both? Probably both.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Both, plus a third thing. They claim to have a 'cure', so someone else profits as well.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Ugh, I was trying to figure out what the proposed connection was. Why babies were being given Tylenol. I have not looked at deeper reporting, and didn’t consider pain relief during pregnancy.

This is so obnoxious.

[–] comador@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

6.63% drop? lot lower than I expected.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Now is the time to buy (not financial advice) before Trump et.al. walk back the defamatory bullshit and profit like crazy from it

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe its just because its after hours trading? Tomorrow morning it might be a fucking bloodbath.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's up 4.36% in after hours right now.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

"Scrutiny."

Funny way to spell "lies."

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They need to sue Trump into oblivion.

[–] Pondis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Theres got to be a defamation claim in there somewhere.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's one crazy thing after another with this administration.

Imagine taking medical direction from these dipshits. But that's what about 1/3rd of this country thinks is just fine. Based on what Orange Jesus "feels".

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Amazed about their obsession with autism while thinking how they will probably understand autism as something else...
