Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit Settlement Amounts & Payout Info

What is the Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit?

Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuits claim that manufacturers of generic acetaminophen knew or should have known that their products, when taken by pregnant women, resulted in an increased risk for children to develop:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD);
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); and
• Other neurodevelopmental disorders

The Acetaminophen Lawsuits are based off growing scientific evidence that has found health risks for children of pregnant women who took the drug.

Scientific Evidence for Acetaminophen Autism ADHD Lawsuits

Scientific research conducted in the past decade has found certain risk factors in taking Acetaminophen during pregnancy.

Research has shown that fetal exposure to acetaminophen, especially prolonged exposure to the pain relief medication, present an increased risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Complex Developmental Disorder
• Cerebral Palsy
• Other developmental disorders and neurological disorders

Scientific Research from Johns Hopkins University

A study published in 2019 by Johns Hopkins University has further explored the potential link between Tylenol or generic acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy and the development of neurological disorders and developmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children.

Using data from the Boston Birth Cohort, the researchers measured the amount of acetaminophen exposure pregnant women had during gestation, finding that prenatal Tylenol exposure may indeed lead to higher risks for these conditions later on in life.

Johns Hopkins University researchers studied the umbilical cord blood samples of 996 births, and separating which cord blood samples contained amounts of acetaminophen from lowest to highest.

Compared to the lowest third of births with acetaminophen exposure:

• The middle third of acetaminophen exposure was associated with a 2.26 times higher risk of ADHD and a 2.14 times higher risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
• The group with the highest amount of exposure was associated with a 2.86 times higher risk of ADHD and a 3.62 times higher risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

These findings are critical for informing public policy and parental decisions concerning Tylenol usage during pregnancy.

Other Scientific Research Conducted on Acetaminophen’s Relation to Autism and ADHD

Multiple other research studies have come to similar conclusions on the links between acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy and fetal brain development.

Several research studies on the subject are listed below:

• American Journal of Epidemiology: 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
• Nature Reviews Endocrinology: Paracetamol use during pregnancy — a call for precautionary action
• Oxford University Press: Acetaminophen Use in Pregnancy and Neurodevelopment: Attention Function and Autism Spectrum Symptoms
• JAMA Pediatrics: Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy, Behavioral Problems, and Hyperkinetic Disorders
• Journal of the International Society for Autism Research: Maternal Use of Acetaminophen during Pregnancy and Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Childhood: A Danish National Birth Cohort Study
