Over 100 lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers of Tylenol (Acetaminophen), one of the most popular pain relievers, due to its proven links to autism in children born to mothers that took the drug during their pregnancy. These children may also suffer ADHD and ADD. Due to the large number of claims, the Tylenol (Acetaminophen), lawsuits have been consolidated into a class action. These cases are moving fast and are predicted to lead to one of the biggest product liability settlements in U.S. history!

There are also claims against retailers, including Walgreens and Walmart for advertising Tylenol (Acetaminophen) as the safest pain reliever for pregnant people and for failure to warn them of the dangers of consuming the products during pregnancy.

The link between Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and childhood autism was first identified in 2008. This study found that children given Tylenol (Acetaminophen) following their routine MMR vaccine had a higher rate of developing autism that those who did not take Tylenol (Acetaminophen).

A decade later, an article published by John Hopkins University in 2019 described a study followed a group of 996 infants for 20 years after birth and evaluated the Tylenol (Acetaminophen) levels in their umbilical cord tissue. They found that fetal exposure to Tylenol (Acetaminophen) is associated with significant risk of the child developing autism. This study supported previous findings that were consistent with prior studies.

The Consensus Statement published in September 2021, summarized and analyzed all prior research and once again confirmed the link between Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and the development of autism in unborn children. The study found that this risk is increased by 20%. Furthermore, the quantities of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) taken during the pregnancy plays a part in the child’s development of autism. This statement recommended a warning label on the Tylenol (Acetaminophen) to let pregnant people know that they are at risk when using Tylenol (Acetaminophen). As of February 2023, this has still not happened.
