I was interviewed by the New York Sun on the latest announcements by RFK Jr. surrounding Tylenol and acetaminophen, and how this will supercharge the lawsuit industry:
The deputy director at the Consumer Choice Center, Yaël Ossowski, says a district judge threw out the case because the expert testimonies used by the plaintiffs were determined to lean on dubious studies to make their case.
“It can’t be forgotten that one of the expert witnesses that was in that trial, who the judge lambasted, is essentially the Harvard researcher who’s being cited in most of these Tylenol warnings now by the government,” Mr. Ossowski tells the New York Sun. “So, the same individual who was effectively called out for improper science testimony in this trial is the one that’s being relied upon for this evidence in the government’s new warning.”
Mr. Ossowski also expects that the Trump administration’s claims will also open more class actions in state courts. He notes that Mr. Kennedy made his wealth as a plaintiff attorney suing companies. “He’s very familiar with this modus operandi, and it’s been very clear from most of his actions at HHS, that that’s how he views the world, and in the world where all companies are bad,” Mr. Ossowski says.
