What Do We Know About the Science and Injuries?
The science is continuing to develop. Among a number of international studies, there was also a 2018 study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology that studied over 130,000 pairs of mothers and children. It found a 20% higher associated risk of autism and 30% higher associated risk of ADHD for children who had prolonged exposure to acetaminophen in the womb.
Hospitals and Medical Providers Were Also Misled
Doctors, midwives, and other healthcare providers in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) are not part of these claims. Medical providers were not properly warned about the increased risk of autism and ADHD by the companies that manufacture, market, and sell Tylenol and acetaminophen.
