The Scientific Evidence
Multiple Studies Link Prenatal Tylenol to Autism & ADHD
Johns Hopkins Study (2019): Children exposed to acetaminophen in utero had 20% higher risk of ADHD and 30% higher risk of autism
NIH-Funded Study (2016): Children with highest acetaminophen exposure had 2-3x higher risk of ADHD/autism
Meta-Analysis (2021): Reviewed 14 studies covering 220,000+ children, confirming consistent association
Dose-Dependent Relationship: Studies show longer/more frequent Tylenol use = higher risk
Manufacturers Failed to Warn
Tylenol and generic acetaminophen products had no warnings about neurodevelopmental risks during pregnancy, despite manufacturers allegedly knowing about these dangers.
