Tylenol Autism Lawsuits: Appeals Court Reconsiders

A federal appeals court is reconsidering over five hundred lawsuits claiming Tylenol exposure led to autism or ADHD. The district judge previously dismissed these cases due to lack of strong scientific evidence. However, two judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit questioned this decision. The Trump administration also linked prenatal acetaminophen use to a higher risk of autism, urging pregnant women to limit its use. Yet, studies have reached different conclusions, with some finding no link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders. The legal situation expanded recently with the Texas Attorney General suing Tylenol manufacturers for deceptive marketing. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has also made acetaminophen use in pregnancy a priority within his autism agenda. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
