Political Figures Clash Over Tylenol and Public Health Claims

TL;DR Summary
Kenvue, Tylenol's parent company, clarified that an old 2017 social media post suggesting pregnant women avoid Tylenol was taken out of context, emphasizing that acetaminophen remains the safest pain reliever during pregnancy. The White House and Trump administration recently highlighted the post amid unsubstantiated claims linking Tylenol to autism, despite expert consensus that no reliable evidence supports this connection. Health authorities continue to recommend consulting a doctor before using over-the-counter medications during pregnancy.
