TYLENOL AUTISM AND ADHD LAWSUIT
TYLENOL AUTISM AND ADHD LAWSUIT
The Tylenol® Autism and ADHD Lawsuit
Cohan PLLC attorney Chasen Cohan, Esq., is filing lawsuits in Las Vegas, Nevada, on behalf of families where the mother took Tylenol® during pregnancy and it caused their child to develop autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Tylenol® is a brand name for a widely used over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever and fever reducer. The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol).
In the past, Tylenol® has been recommended by healthcare professionals for pregnant individuals experiencing pain or fever simply because it has a long history of use. However, according to recent studies by the American Journal of Pathology and the National Institute of Health, “prenatal acetaminophen affects maternal immune and endocrine adaptation to pregnancy, induces placental damage, and impairs fetal development in mice.”
This is just a fancy way of saying the use of Tylenol® during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of autism or ADHD in children.

Studies Linking Tylenol to Autism and ADHD
Recent studies suggest that taking Tylenol® during pregnancy can increase the risk of autism and ADHD in children. Specifically, “the analysis revealed a 20% higher risk of autism and a 30% higher risk of ADHD for children who had prolonged exposure to acetaminophen in the womb.” According to researchers at UCLA, the risk to your child was higher if you took Tylenol® for extended periods or later in the pregnancy — like during the second and third trimester.
Despite this fact, Tylenol® manufacturer Johnson & Johnson failed to update the product’s label to warn families about the risks of taking Tylenol while pregnant. Due to Johnson & Johnson’s inaction, thousands of families may now be affected by something that could have been avoided by changing a label.
Multiple lawsuits have already been filed by families who believe that Tylenol exposure during pregnancy may be to blame for their child’s autism or ADHD. The Tylenol® autism and ADHD lawsuits allege that:
Taking Tylenol® during pregnancy caused their child to develop autism or ADHD;
Johnson & Johnson knew or should have known about the risks of their product; and
The warning label on the product failed to notify the public of these risks.
As a result, Tylenol® autism and ADHD lawsuits seek compensation for the children and families whose lives have been affected by the company’s negligence. You may be able to file a lawsuit against Tylenol® for autism or ADHD if:
You took Tylenol® during the second or third trimester of the pregnancy
Your child has since been diagnosed with ASD or ADHD
The experienced team at Cohan PLLC has the time, knowledge, and resources to help you and many families in Las Vegas and across the country seek justice and hold Johnson & Johnson and the responsible pharmacies accountable for their actions.

However, recent studies have connected the prolonged use of Tylenol® during pregnancy to higher risks of autism and ADHD in children. This risk was found to become higher when the painkiller was taken throughout the second and third trimesters.
Families impacted by Johnson & Johnson’s inaction may be able to file a lawsuit for compensation.
Does Tylenol® cause birth defects?
Potentially, yes. Recent studies conducted by the nation’s leading research institute indicate taking Tylenol® while pregnant has been shown to increase the risk of the child developing autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other developmental delays.

Can taking Tylenol while pregnant cause ADHD?
