» Tylenol Autism Claims | Acetaminophen Use While Pregnant Potentially Linked to Autism
Last Updated: July 15th, 2023
Tylenol (Acetaminophen), one of the most widely used over-the-counter medications in the world, has been associated with a potentially increased risk of Autism in recent scientific studies.
The drug has been deemed safe by the healthcare community, but recent scientific studies have discovered that the children of women who take Tylenol while pregnant may experience an elevated risk of certain developmental disorders, including autism, ADHD, and more.
Legal action is being investigated against manufacturers and distributors on behalf of mothers and children affected by the drug, on the basis of scientific research.

It’s currently too early to tell what the average payout or settlement is for a Tylenol Autism Lawsuit.
Based on previous results in other litigations against drug manufacturers, our law firm projects that settlements could be anywhere between $50,000 to $300,000+ depending on the strength of the claim and direction of the multidistrict litigation.
No settlements have been reached with drug manufacturers for acetaminophen autism lawsuits.
These projections are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation or certain dollar amounts that clients should expect for their Tylenol Autism Lawsuit.
More detailed information on potential settlement amounts will be available as the lawsuit progresses.

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.
Tylenol Autism Lawsuits are filed against generic acetaminophen drug manufacturers and producers.
These manufacturers include Walgreens, Walmart, Costco, CVS, and other big-box stores that produce generic acetaminophen.

Research on the Link between Autism and Acetaminophen
Recent scientific evidence produced by health professionals in respected institutions have found that prenatal acetaminophen exposure may result in an increased risk to develop Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) later in life.
Scientific studies have been conducted involving expectant mothers and their acetaminophen use, later following-up with children and their diagnoses.
These scientific and medical research studies may only skim the surface of the potential issue at hand. The scientific and medical validity of these studies has been debated, but researchers are insistent on their discoveries.
As the medication is so widely available and used, and research efforts have been relatively novel, we’ll only find more out about the potential links between Tylenol and Autism.
While screening for developmental disorders has become more advanced and sensitive, researchers are pondering whether other environmental factors could have an influence on the increased rates of Autism over the past few decades.
Paracetamol use during pregnancy — a call for precautionary action
The researchers call for more scrutiny of paracetamol (acetaminophen), stating that prenatal exposure to the drug might alter fetal development, which could increase the risks of neurodevelopmental, reproductive and urogenital disorders.
The paper goes on to state that there has been a noticeable increase of diagnosed developmental disorders in children in recent years, along with an increase in the use of Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy. Up to 65% of expectant mothers in the United States use the medication.
Johns Hopkins University 2019 Study
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University studied the Cord Plasma Biomarkers, the blood in umbilical cords, and found that babies exposed to acetaminophen were two times more likely to be diagnosed with a developmental disorder.
The researchers used the Boston Birth Cohort, studying over 3,000 mother-infant pairs, 996 of which contained children who were later diagnosed with developmental disorders. The research study looked at children from 6 months of age up until 21 years-old.
Researchers defined the level of acetaminophen in cord plasma biomarkers using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry techniques at the Broad Institute Metabolite Profiling Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Later, the levels of acetaminophen in blood samples could be correlated with the rates of Autism and ADHD diagnosis amongst participants.
The research methods used in this study have come under some scrutiny, as the levels of acetaminophen in blood samples were measured only after the baby was delivered and not throughout the pregnancy.
Prenatal Exposure to Acetaminophen and Risk for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autistic Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression Analysis of Cohort Studies
Israeli researchers conducted a meta-analysis of seven studies that totaled over 130,000 mother-child pairs and concluded that children of mothers who used acetaminophen during pregnancy had a 20% higher risk of Autism and a 30% higher risk of ADHD diagnoses.
These findings echo other studies that found an increased risk of neurological impacts on children of mothers who used acetaminophen or Tylenol during pregnancy.
Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit - Do I Qualify to File a Claim?
Tylenol Autism Lawsuits are being filed on behalf of parents whose children were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) after prenatal acetaminophen exposure.
These lawsuits are being consolidated into multidistrict litigation.
If you or a loved one’s child has been diagnosed with a neurological disorder such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that may be attributed to Acetaminophen exposure in the womb, you may be eligible to file a claim.
Gathering Evidence For A Tylenol Autism Lawsuit
Gathering evidence that verifies your case for prenatal Acetaminophen exposure is crucial.
It must be proven that Tylenol or a generic equivalent was taken during pregnancy, and that your child was subsequently diagnosed with a neurological disorder related to documentary and scientific evidence.
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 a neurological disorder related to Acetaminophen exposure
Records from your child’s therapist or psychiatrist if necessary
Any notes from doctors or healthcare professionals about Tylenol use during pregnancy
