Tylenol’s old warnings resurface - should pregnant women be worried?

An unusual online storm has erupted after multiple old tweets from Tylenol, warning pregnant women not to take their products, resurfaced online. The sudden attention came after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Tylenol could be linked to autism during a recent speech. His comments have triggered fear, confusion, and even a strange TikTok trend where pregnant women film themselves taking Tylenol either in protest or to normalise its use.

The resurfaced tweets, originally posted years ago, were simple replies from Tylenol’s official account advising pregnant women to be cautious. Now, with Trump’s comments spreading rapidly, these tweets are being shared millions of times, sparking a heated debate about whether acetaminophen — the main ingredient in Tylenol — is safe during pregnancy.
