Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of Health and Human Services, says Tylenol should be used with caution during pregnancy, but solid data linking it to autism is lacking.

-Last month, Trump said U.S. officials would suggest limiting the use of Tylenol during pregnancy, though doctors say it is safe to use.

-The state of Texas sued Tylenol maker Kenvue on Oct. 28, accusing it of hiding data about health risks.

-RFK Jr. said there isn't enough data to confirm a link between Tylenol and autism, but the painkiller should still be avoided during pregnancy, if possible.

WASHINGTON - Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Oct. 29 that he does not have "sufficient" evidence to link Tylenol to autism, more than a month after the White House discouraged the medicine's use by pregnant women and young children.

Evidence does not show that Kenvue's pain medicine Tylenol definitively causes autism but that it should still be used cautiously, President Donald Trump's top health official told reporters. Last month the president said U.S. health officials would recommend limiting Tylenol's use.

"The causative association with, between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive," Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.
