Trump Sparks Concerns Over Tylenol and Autism

Donald Trump spoke about Tylenol this week. He said it may cause autism, which is not proven. This has made Tylenol face a new problem with its image.

Trump told pregnant women not to take Tylenol. He also told mothers not to give it to babies. Tylenol is also known as acetaminophen in the U.S. and paracetamol elsewhere.

Trump's words about Tylenol are unusual, but the issue is not new. Tylenol has dealt with lawsuits about autism before. In the 1980s, it also had a problem with cyanide poisoning and a recall.

Some studies suggest Tylenol during pregnancy might link to autism. Many other studies do not show this connection. Trump's comments could lead to more lawsuits and people using other medicines.

Kenvue Inc., the maker of Tylenol, disagrees with Trump. Experts think people will still buy Tylenol because they trust it. Tylenol has been sold since the 1950s and is a very popular product.
