"The HHS, fronted by Robert Kennedy Jr., reshared the eight-year-old post on Wednesday with the words, No caption needed. The move comes days after Kennedy and President Donald Trump held a news conference during which the commander in chief struggled to pronounce the word acetaminophen the key ingredient in Tylenol and warned using it while pregnant could be linked to autism in kids."
"This eight-year-old consumer response is incomplete and did not address our full guidance on the safe use of Tylenol which has not changed: Acetaminophen is the safest pain reliever option for pregnant women as needed throughout their entire pregnancy. Our products are safe and effective when used as directed on the product label. We recommend pregnant women do not take any over-the-counter medication, including acetaminophen, without talking to their doctor first."
"We actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today."
A federal health agency reshared an eight-year-old Tylenol social media reply that stated the company did not recommend using its products while pregnant. The resharing followed a recent high-profile news conference where concerns were raised about prenatal acetaminophen use potentially being linked to autism, including a presenter’s difficulty pronouncing "acetaminophen." The old Tylenol reply circulated widely among political supporters, who used it to counter medical critics. Tylenol's parent company said the consumer response was incomplete and reiterated that acetaminophen remains the safest pain reliever for pregnant women when used as directed, and advised consultation with a doctor before any over-the-counter medication.
