In 1994, a plaintiff <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugwatch.com\/tylenol\/lawsuits\/\">accused<\/a> Johnson and Johnson of negligently failing to warn consumers of the dangerous effects of taking Tylenol with alcohol. The plaintiff required a liver transplant after ingesting the recommended dose of Extra-Strength Tylenol. \u00a0Since then, consumers have continued to argue that Johnson and Johnson does not effectively display labels, warning consumers that Tylenol is medically linked to liver failure.<\/p>\n<p>While this current class action lawsuit does not touch on the topic of health effects, it does focus on the company\u2019s lack of accurate or honest packaging.\u00a0 Johnson and Johnson has agreed to settle and is willing to pay up to $6.3 million in damages.\u00a0 Those who have purchased the Infants\u2019 Tylenol since 2014 and possess proof of purchase are encouraged to file a claim by April 13, 2020.\u00a0 The claimants will receive $2.15 per every 1- or 2-ounce bottle of Infants\u2019 Tylenol purchased.\u00a0 For those who have misplaced their receipts, a maximum of $15.05 will be paid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you purchased Infants\u2019 Tylenol any time from October 2014 to January 6, 2020, you may be entitled to a few bucks.\u00a0 Johnson and Johnson received negative backlash following the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":230,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[54,1794,2708,2707,2627],"class_list":["post-8044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-settlements","tag-class-action","tag-consumer-rights","tag-deceptive","tag-misrepresentation","tag-pharmaceutical-product"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/230"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8044"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8188,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8044\/revisions\/8188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lawyer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
