Scientific Research Conducted on Tylenol Usage by Pregnant Women and ADHD Diagnosis
Scientific evidence published by health professionals around the world indicates an increased risk to develop Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children of women who took Tylenol during pregnancy.
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.
Average Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit Settlement Amounts
The Tylenol Autism Lawsuit is still in its early stages. No settlements have been agreed to as of yet, and there are many legal steps to be taken before a settlement can potentially be reached.
The Tylenol Autism MDL Judge has consistently denied motion to dismiss filings by the defendants, and the litigation is beginning to take shape.
In light of the Tylenol Autism Lawsuit being in its early stages, our Tylenol Attorneys estimate that potential settlement amounts for an individual Tylenol Autism Lawsuit could range between $50,000 to over $300,000.
These estimates are only projections based on prior results in dangerous drug lawsuits. These estimated settlement amounts are not guarantees.
The lawsuits consolidated in multidistrict litigation named drug manufacturers of generic acetaminophen as defendants.
These companies include:
Costco Wholesale Corp
Walmart Inc.
CVS Pharmacy Inc.
Rite Aid Corp
Safeway Inc.
Target Corp
Walgreens Boot Alliance Inc.
Settlements for mothers who took Tylenol and whose children were subsequently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or other developmental disorders will depend on a number of factors.
Tylenol Lawsuits are being filed by parents across the country who claim that acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy resulted in the Autism or ADHD diagnosis of their child.
You may qualify to file a Tylenol Lawsuit if you or a loved one:
Used Tylenol or generic acetaminophen during pregnancy; and
The child born was subsequently diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Gathering Evidence For A Lawsuit
Gathering evidence that verifies your case for prenatal Acetaminophen exposure is crucial.

Evidence for a Tylenol lawsuit may include:
Medical records on Tylenol usage during pregnancy (if available)
Receipts for purchase of Acetaminophen
Medical records indicating that your child was diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders related to Acetaminophen exposure
Records from your child’s therapist or psychiatrist if necessary
Any notes from doctors or healthcare professionals about Tylenol or generic acetaminophen use during pregnancy

What Health Risks Are Associated With Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy?
Several neurological disorders and other health risks may be associated with acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy.
These neuorological disorders and health risk include, but are not limited to:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Complex Developmental Disorder
Cerebral Palsy
Other developmental disorders and neurological disorders
Is There A Tylenol Class Action Lawsuit?
No, there is not currently a Tylenol Class Action Lawsuit for Autism and ADHD diagnosis injuries. Rather, Tylenol Autism Lawsuits are being filed into multidistrict litigation.
The multidistrict litigation consolidates all Tylenol/Acetaminophen Lawsuits into one US District Court to speed up the process and ensure consistent decisions across all Tylenol Lawsuits.
Many law firms refer to the multidistrict litigation as the “Tylenol Class Action Lawsuit” or the “Tylenol Class Action Lawsuit MDL”, but this is incorrect. In a class action lawsuit, settlements are distributed evenly amongst all plaintiffs. However, in a multidistrict litigation, a potential settlement would be divided amongst plaintiffs according to the facts of their individual Tylenol Autism Lawsuit.
This means that Tylenol/Acetaminophen Lawsuits would be compensated on a case-by-case basis according to the unique facts and damages in each individual case.
At TorHoerman Law, we believe that if we continue to focus on the people that we represent, and continue to be true to the people that we are – justice will always be served.
