The Tylenol autism lawsuits were mostly dismissed in federal court as of December 2023 due to insufficient scientific evidence linking prenatal Tylenol use to autism or ADHD. Plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment granted to the defendants in 2024, and that appeal is still pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals as of 2025. While federal litigation is likely ending, plaintiffs continue filing suits in state courts. A significant report from the Department of Health and Human Services suggesting a link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism risk was expected in September 2025, which might influence ongoing and future cases. Experts anticipate that any potential settlements could happen in phases and likely in 2026 or later, but the exact settlement timeline is uncertain and depends on court rulings, appeals, and new scientific evidence. Settlements, if achieved, might range between $50,000 and $600,000 per person.
