Tylenol Autism Lawsuits: What you need to know
Recent scientific studies have linked acetaminophen prenatal exposure to autism, ADHD, and other neurological disorder. As a result, families who suspect their children’s condition may be due to acetaminophen consumption during pregnancy are pursuing lawsuits to get settlement benefits.
Manufacturers and retailers, including CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, have been hit by several Tylenol autism and ADHD lawsuits, and there is potential that it might result in the largest class action settlement in U.S. history.
If you suspect acetaminophen is responsible for your child’s condition, please talk to our experts now. We will help you evaluate your case and determine if your family is eligible for compensation. Our goal is to ensure every affected child gets the compensation they deserve.
Studies linking Tylenol prenatal exposure to Autism
In 2018, researchers did a meta-analysis of seven studies involving 132,738 pairs of mothers and children. The analysis revealed a 20% higher risk of autism for children who had prolonged exposure to acetaminophen in the womb.
Likewise, in 2019 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that children whose cord blood sample contained the highest levels of acetaminophen – the generic name for the drug Tylenol – were roughly three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder later in childhood, compared to children with the lowest levels of acetaminophen in their cord blood.
Legal basis for the Tylenol Autism Lawsuits
The allegations in the lawsuits are that:
Consumption of Tylenol during pregnancy caused children to develop neurological conditions, such as autism and ADHD
Manufacturers and retailers of Tylenol and other acetaminophen medications are aware of or should have been aware of the possible risks.
Manufacturers and retailers of the products failed to notify pregnant women of the risks of prenatal acetaminophen exposure
As a result of these allegations, Tylenol lawsuits seek financial settlement for families and children affected by the negligence of these companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Qualifies for a Tylenol Autism Lawsuit?
If you took Tylenol or another acetaminophen product while you were expecting — especially at high doses or for an extended period — and your child later developed ASD, you could qualify for a civil lawsuit against the drug manufacturer for failing to warn consumers about the risks associated with using their product while pregnant.
Through a Tylenol autism lawsuit, you may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, mental healthcare expenses, permanent disability costs, physical and emotional pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other losses.
What are the Main Qualifying Issues for Tylenol Autism Lawsuit?
The main qualifying issues are:
Mother took Tylenol or generic acetaminophen while pregnant
The mother was not taking acetaminophen or Tylenol against the advice of a health professional
Your child sustained fetal exposure to Tylenol or generic acetaminophen
Your child was subsequently diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or participates or participated in an individual education program (IEP) or even an autism early intervention program
How Long Do I Have to File an Acetaminophen Lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for filing a product liability, negligence, or unfair trade practices claims varies from state to state. Even within a state, some of these claims have longer statutes of limitations than others. 
In many cases, the standard timeline is extended if you didn’t know or reasonably couldn’t be expected to know that the product had caused harm. But, even then, many states have absolute limits. So, it can be difficult to determine exactly how long you have to file a certain type of claim in a particular state. 
What Settlement Amounts Can Tylenol Autism Lawsuit Plaintiffs Expect?
The trial value of a Tylenol autism lawsuit will drive settlement amounts.  The average trial value of a successful verdict in a Tylenol autism lawsuit would likely be between $5 million and $10 million.  
Keep in mind a few things. First, settlement compensation payouts are only a fraction of the trial value of a case in mass tort cases. And lawyers still cannot project the settlement amount or the likelihood that the science in these cases is strong enough to get to a jury - although the science looks pretty good right now.
