Latest Lawsuits Alleging Tylenol Caused ADHD and Autism

The Link Between Autism and Exposure to Tylenol and Acetaminophen

Recent scientific research on the cord blood samples of children whose mothers took Tylenol (acetaminophen) while pregnant linked drug use and autism/developmental disorders. The fetal exposure to Tylenol/acetaminophen cord blood samples contained high levels of the drug pregnant women took for pain relief. A more recent Johns Hopkins University study found antenatal exposure to acetaminophen led to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including developmental disorders like ASD

Acetaminophen Study Findings

One study published in the journal Pediatrics found that Tylenol/acetaminophen use during pregnancy is more likely to have children diagnosed with ADHD or neurodevelopmental disorders.

The study looked at data from nearly 64,000 children and found that those exposed to acetaminophen prenatally were twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD by the time they reached school age.

Another study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Pediatrics found a correlation between prenatal Tylenol exposure and ASD. The study looked at data from nearly 1,500 children and found that those exposed to acetaminophen prenatally were three times more likely to develop   ASD
