New medical guidance affirms Tylenol safety during pregnancy months after Trump sows doubt

The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine reaffirmed acetaminophen (Tylenol) as the first-line treatment for pain and fever during pregnancy, countering the Trump administration's previous warnings about its potential link to autism. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. directed the FDA to focus autism research on environmental causes, while Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Johnson and Johnson over alleged misleading claims about Tylenol's safety during pregnancy.
