The manufacturer of Tylenol on Thursday clarified an old social media post that said it doesn't "actually recommend" using of its products while pregnant, which the Trump administration resurfaced following its assertion this week that the over-the-counter pain reliever could be linked to autism.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) highlighted a tweet by Tylenol from 2017 in which it wrote, "We don't actually recommend using any of our products while pregnant."
This comes after President Trump and his health officials announced on Monday that they would be recommending against the use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, on the basis that it might cause autism. This guidance was given despite no causal evidence indicating a connection.
