Info On The 6.3 Million Dollar Infant Tylenol Settlement
By Joey Tack on January 14, 2020
If you purchased infant Tylenol 2014 and 2020, you may be eligible for part of a 6.3 million dollar settlement. According the USA TODAY:
Parents who bought Infants’ Tylenol in the past six years could get money back from a $6.3 million lawsuit settlement with Johnson & Johnson.
The medicine’s packaging, which features a picture of a mother holding her baby and a label that says “infants,” misleads consumers into thinking Infants’ Tylenol is specially formulated for infants, the class-action lawsuit argued.
In reality, the bottle contains the same concentration of liquid acetaminophen as Children’s Tylenol, but often at a higher price, according to the lawsuit.
However, Infants’ Tylenol includes a syringe to administer a safe dose of the liquid medicine to an infant, which Children’s Tylenol does not include, making the two products different, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. said.
According to The Daily Hornet, “Consumers who join the class action can claim $2.15 for every 1 fl. oz and 2 fl. oz. bottle of Infants’ Tylenol purchased. Up to 7 bottles or $15.05 may be claimed without proof of purchase. An unlimited number of bottles may be claimed if you have proof of purchase. You must submit a claim form by April 13, 2020.”
