Families who used Tylenol or generic acetaminophen regularly during pregnancy are pursuing claims that prenatal exposure was linked to their child's autism spectrum disorder or ADHD diagnosis, and that the risk was never adequately warned about on the label.
Free, confidential review — about 2 minutes.
Acetaminophen — sold under the brand name Tylenol and in many store-brand generics — has been used for decades as a go-to pain and fever reliever during pregnancy, marketed for years as the safe option compared to NSAIDs. A growing body of research has examined whether regular, sustained use during pregnancy is associated with a higher likelihood of a child later being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or ADHD.
Families pursuing these claims argue that manufacturers and retailers had information suggesting this risk and did not adequately warn pregnant women on the product label. These claims are filed against the makers and retailers of acetaminophen products — not against any doctor, hospital, or the parent who used a common over-the-counter medication as directed.
