Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked a court on Wednesday to block the maker of Tylenol from issuing a dividend payment to shareholders later this month, so that Texans will not lose out on the damages that may be owed to them in numerous lawsuits related to the pain reliever.

The motion comes over one week after Paxton sued Kenvue and former parent company Johnson & Johnson for concealing the acetaminophen drug’s links to autism and ADHD.
