US EditionUS health chief says there is not enough data to show Tylenol causes autism
- On October 29, 2025, health officials said there is not enough evidence to confirm Tylenol causes autism despite President Donald Trump's warnings to avoid it.
- Kennedy and Trump had earlier promoted a Tylenol–autism link despite limited evidence, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Kenvue on Oct. 28, 2025, alleging hidden pregnancy risks.
- Dr. Karen Wilcox noted the lack of consensus, saying there is no scientific consensus linking Tylenol in pregnancy to autism, while the World Health Organization found `no consistent association has been established` despite extensive research.
- Kenvue defended the drug and warned of maternal health risks if untreated, urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reject an autism warning as Kenvue shares fell 1.4% on Oct. 29.
- Officials now stress consultation with healthcare providers as Kennedy partially walked back claims, urging caution amid doctors advising pregnant women and patients to consult their physicians.
