A Picture Is Worth...$6.3 million Print
Thursday, January 30 2020

Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay up to $6.3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit claiming that its Infants’ Tylenol was deceptively packaged as being uniquely formulated for babies.

According to the lawsuit, the marketing of the product with its use of the word "infants" and a photo of a mother holding a baby allegedly caused consumers to believe the medicine was made especially for infants. The lawsuit claimed that the Infants’ Tylenol contains liquid acetaminophen in the same concentration as Children’s Tylenol.

According to the settlement, U.S. residents who claim to have purchased Infants' Tylenol between October 3, 2014 and January 6, 2020, can file a request form seeking a partial refund of $2.15 per bottle, up to seven bottles. No proof of purchase is required for a refund of up to $15.05; claimants seeking more refunds must submit proof of purchase.
