While the media and organizations around the world run to Tylenol’s defense after President Trump told pregnant women not to take the medicine, and HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy suggested a possible link between acetaminophen and autism, it’s not been revealed that Tylenol themselves have recommended that pregnant women not take the medicine.
Here are the tweets from years past:
We actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today.

Something else that was revealed was that during a class action lawsuit against Tylenol, where evidence was to be given in court suggesting a link between Tylenol and autism, was blocked by the federal judge in that case and the lawsuit ended:
