| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Unbiased, your favorite source of unbiased news and legal analysis. |
| 0:06.9 | Welcome back to Unbiased Politics. Today is Thursday, October 30th. Let's talk about some news. |
| 0:12.6 | On Tuesday, Texas's Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the makers of Tylenol, |
| 0:19.5 | alleging that companies deceptively marketed the |
| 0:22.8 | medication as safe despite potential links to autism and other neurological disorders. |
| 0:28.3 | The named defendants in this lawsuit include Johnson & Johnson, which was the previous |
