US EditionTylenol owner reacts to Trump’s advice for pregnant women
- On September 22, 2025, President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who oversees health-related matters, held a White House press conference announcing a federal advisory that links the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy to a heightened risk of autism.
- The advisory followed several studies suggesting possible associations but conflicting evidence, including a large 2024 Swedish study finding no link between acetaminophen and autism.
- Medical experts and groups urged pregnant women to consult doctors and noted untreated fever and pain pose greater risks than acetaminophen use, which remains a trusted treatment.
- Julie Quigley of Autism United expressed that today has been particularly difficult for people living with autism, highlighting both the unique challenges and strengths experienced by those on the spectrum.
- The announcement sparked concerns among doctors and manufacturers, who stressed the lack of high-quality causal evidence and warned against reducing acetaminophen use when medically necessary.
