For years, pregnant women have relied on Tylenol (acetaminophen) to manage pain and reduce fever, believing it to be a safe option. However, recent scientific research suggests a possible connection between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and a higher risk of autism and ADHD in children.
In light of this emerging data, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has started the process of updating warning labels on all acetaminophen products. The agency now advises pregnant women to use acetaminophen only when absolutely necessary, at the lowest effective dose, for the shortest amount of time, and only under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
If your child has been diagnosed with autism and their mother used acetaminophen during pregnancy, you may be eligible to pursue a Tylenol autism lawsuit in Wisconsin, Iowa, or Illinois.
