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 or 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 spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

The worker’s team noticed he was not with them as they headed to their trucks for lunch, the complaint states. The team immediately rushed to the trench, where the worker went to retrieve the tools to try to locate the worker and found that a substantial amount of dirt had been poured into the trench.

In medical terminology, a disc extrusion is a type of spinal disc herniation or disc protrusion. The spinal discs are soft, cushion-like structures between the vertebrae (the bones of the spine) that act as shock absorbers and provide flexibility to the spine. When the inner gel-like material of a disc pushes out through the outer layer, it can cause various degrees of spinal compression and nerve irritation.

Disc extrusions and other forms of disc herniation can cause pressure on nearby nerves, leading to various symptoms, including back pain, sciatica (pain radiating down the leg), numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. Treatment options may range from conservative approaches like physical therapy and pain management to surgical intervention in more severe cases. Treatment choice depends on the individual's specific condition and the severity of their symptoms.

In Nevada, the law is constantly changing. There are good reasons to pass new laws as communities grow. However, when those laws address specific needs that no longer apply, unintended consequences tend to look more absurd over time.

When this occurs, it seems evident that local and state law enforcement agencies would no longer enforce these old rules. Regardless, these laws technically still exist. Some of these laws have context, but in many cases, we have no idea what led to their creation, much less their passage!

Let's take a look at some of the weirdest ones:
