Tylenol Lawsuits: Judge Dismisses Claims of Autism Link

In a recent decision in 2024, a judge dismissed a significant number of lawsuits filed by attorneys seeking compensation for alleged neurological effects associated with the pain medication, Tylenol. These lawsuits stemmed from claims suggesting a potential link between Tylenol use and autism or ADHD symptoms. The court’s decision focused on the lack of conclusive evidence to support the plaintiffs’ claims. The dismissal was based on the judge’s assessment that the evidence presented did not meet the legal standard for establishing causation. The judge did not address the specific arguments made by the attorneys.
