Tylenol Autism lawsuit assert that the manufacturers and companies who manufacture and sell Tylenol didn’t warn consumers about the higher risk for autism or ADHD in children when mothers take it during pregnancy. Tylenol ADHD and autism lawsuit settlement amounts could range between $300,000 to $600,000, as some attorneys estimate.
On December 20, 2023, the judge from the Manhattan federal court decided to disqualify experts from testing about the possibility that taking Tylenol during pregnancy could result in autism among babies. The judge concluded that the experts could not back their claims using scientific evidence.
This ruling could be the final word on this federal litigation, which included approximately 500 lawsuits related to the popular prescription drug unless plaintiffs successfully appeal the verdict.
In April 2024, the number of cases was 562 Tylenol Autism and ADHD lawsuits at the federal level.
The ruling could mean that those cases and any other federal cases could be dismissed. However, Tylenol Autism lawsuits are expected to remain in state courts.
The defendants have attempted to dismiss these lawsuits several times.
Tiffany Rutledge filed a Tylenol autism and ADHD lawsuit against Walmart in June 2022 on behalf of her two daughters, L.R. and C.R. Rutledge both took acetaminophen during their pregnancy, and C.R. has developed ADHD, and L.R. is suffering from ADHD as well. She is currently being examined for autism.
“Increasing studies in epidemiology and experimental research have shown that exposure to acetaminophen prior to birth affects the development of the fetus, which increases the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as but not limited to ASD as well as ADHD,” according to Rutledge’s complaint.
Rutledge is suing to recover compensation for “permanent injuries, significant emotional distress, loss of earnings and wages, and the loss of the quality of one’s life.”
People are filing Tylenol lawsuits on behalf of Johnson & Johnson and various stores that sell generic acetaminophen, including CVS, Costco, Family Dollar, Rite Aid, Safeway, Sam’s Warehouse, Target, Walgreens, and Walmart.

Tylenol ADHD and autism ADHD lawsuits assert:
The lawsuits allege that a variety of studies link acetaminophen and ADHD as well as ASD. A study that the American Journal of Epidemiology conducted found babies born to mothers who were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy were at an increased risk of developing ADHD as well as the risk of developing autism and an increase of 24% in the risk of symptoms of hyperactivity.
A study funded by the National Institutes of Health and by researchers from Johns Hopkins analyzed the levels of acetaminophen found in umbilical Cord blood samples taken from 996 babies. Researchers categorized kids into three categories according to acetaminophen levels in the blood samples. As compared to children in the first group, “children who were in those in the middle-third group were 2.26 percent more likely be diagnosed with an ADHD diagnosis, and 2.14 percent more likely be diagnosed with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.”
