Sec. Kennedy: Tylenol

Sec. Kennedy: Tylenol is tied to autism, ADHD and LIVER TOXICITY in kids, and can prolong viral illness.

"Today, the FDA will issue a physician's notice about the risk of acetaminophen [Tylenol] during pregnancy and begin the process to initiate a SAFETY LABEL CHANGE."

"[There is] a potential association between acetaminophen [Tylenol] use during pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including later diagnosis for ADHD and autism."

"Prudent medicine [also] suggests caution in acetaminophen use of young children, especially since strong evidence also has associated it with liver toxicity."

"Some studies have also found the use of acetaminophen in children can potentially prolong viral illnesses. FDA will drive new research to safeguard mothers, children, and families."
