Scientific Research Conducted on Tylenol Usage by Pregnant Women and ADHD Diagnosis
Recent scientific research conducted by top institutions and universities around the world have found that Acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy may increase a child’s risk of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Lawsuits are being filed against the drug manufacturers and distributors of Tylenol and Generic Acetaminophen.
Johns Hopkins University Study on Acetaminophen Exposure During Pregnancy
In October 2019, researchers from Johns Hopkins University published a study in the JAMA Psychiatry Journal, titled:
In the publication, Johns Hopkins University researchers studied the cord blood samples of children whose mothers took Tylenol during pregnancy, sourcing data from 996 mother-child pairs in the Boston Birth Cohort.
The Johns Hopkins University researchers found that:
“Cord plasma biomarkers of fetal exposure to acetaminophen were associated with significantly increased risk of childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder.”
Significant data points in the Johns Hopkins University study are as follows:
25.8% of the children studied were diagnosed with ADHD only
6.6% of the children studied were diagnosed with ASD only
4.2% of the children were diagnosed with both ADHD and ASD
30.5% of the children were diagnosed with other developmental disorders
32.8% of the children were neurotypical
2018 Study Published in the American Journal of Epidemiology
Another study conducted on the association of Acetaminophen exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders found similar results, warning expectant mothers of the potential dangers of the drug.
Researchers from a host of countries across North America, Europe and South America published the study, titled:
Their consensus statement warns the public that paracetamol, the active ingredient in Tylenol and acetaminophen, may alter fetal development.
The researchers state that rates of developmental disorders, neurological disorders, and other urogenital and reproductive disorders have been rising.
They further state that:
“… [These outcomes] have been associated with maternal and perinatal use of paracetamol (APAP).”
Tylenol Multidistrict Litigation: Centralized In The US District Court: Southern District Of New York
The civil lawsuit for Tylenol Autism and ADHD claims has been centralized in the US District Court: Southern District of New York.
The Acetaminophen – ASD/ADHD Products Liability Litigation (MDL 3043) is consolidating all claims relating to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and acetaminophen use by pregnant women.
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a special federal legal procedure designed to speed the process of handling complex litigations (such as the Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit) by consolidating cases and addressing all pretrial procedures in one court.
When a large number of people have affected by the same medication, device, or toxic exposure file individual lawsuits, the federal court system allows for the consolidation of these cases into an MDL to make them easier to manage.
MDLs take cases from multiple federal districts (each state has at least one district), and centralizes them into one district court.
This single district court, and one judge, then address all discovery and pretrial procedures that apply to every case – cutting the costs and amount of resources needed, and keeping court rulings consistent with similar cases.

You may qualify to file a Tylenol Lawsuit if you or a loved one:
