In 2017, Tylenol posted that it didn’t recommend using its products during pregnancy. Around the same time, Tylenol also encouraged people to consult doctors before taking it during pregnancy. We put the resurfaced post in context.
When replying to a now-deleted post in March 2017, Tylenol posted on its social media account:"We actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant." A spokesperson for Tylenol ’s parent company said the brand doesn’t recommend pregnant women take any medication without talking to their doctor in accordance with the drug label and regulations.
Other Tylenol social media posts in late 2016 and early 2017 echo that guidance. Medical professionals and researchers have long advised pregnant patients that Tylenol is the safest option to reduce fever or pain, which come with their own health risks if left untreated.about a link between Tylenol and autism, it said the active ingredient, acetaminophen, is the safest pain reliever available for pregnant women. Two days after Trump’s news conference, social media sleuths found an old tweet from the company that they said undermined the company’s message.The post Tylenol replied to has since been deleted, so it’s impossible to know what comment prompted this reply nearly eight and a half years ago.."Every doctor I had, for all three pregnancies, told me it's totally fine to take Tylenol. What is going on?!"and shared a photo of Trump holding up one of his signature red hats that said:"Trump was right about everything." The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also weighed in, sharing a screenshot of Tylenol’s post and writing,"No caption needed." The White House and Department of Health and Human Services shared Tylenol’s 2017 post on Sept. 24, 2025. "To all Democrats with Trump Derangement Syndrome, your TDS is putting kids lives at risk," Mace wrote."Here is @tylenol's warning for pregnant women: Don't use tylenol." Melissa Witt, a spokesperson for Tylenol’s parent company, Kenvue, told PolitiFact the 2017 post was"being taken out of context." "We do not recommend pregnant women take any medication without talking to their doctor," she said."This is consistent with the regulations and product label for acetaminophen."Tylenol’s other social media posts and drug label encourage pregnant patients to seek medical guidance Other posts Tylenol issued around the same time instructed people to consult clinicians before taking Tylenol products. In February 2017, it advised another social media user — who had praised Tylenol"for being pregnancy safe" — to seek a clinician’s advice:"Thanks for the shout out Carrie!" TylenolOn its own, the March 2017 post is at odds with more recent public statements from Tylenol and its parent company."Without it, women face dangerous choices: suffer through conditions like fever that are potentially harmful to both mom and baby or use riskier alternatives," the company’s statement said."High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated.""Your doctor is the best person to advise whether taking medication is right for you based on your specific health needs," the video said.long advisedthat acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases a child’s risk of autism — and it’s based on conflicting science, experts Some studies have found that children exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy were more likely to have autism symptoms or be diagnosed with autism, but other studies found no such association. Association isit had"initiated the process" to change acetaminophen labels, it also acknowledged the drug isn’t a proven cause of autism. "It is important to note that while an association between acetaminophen and neurological conditions has been described in many studies, a causal relationship has not been established and there are contrary studies in the scientific literature," it said. Research has linked untreated fevers during pregnancy to an increased risk of birth defects and other pregnancy complications, particularly if they occur during the first trimester. Untreated pain can lead to maternal depression, anxiety and high blood pressure. "Maternal fever, headaches as an early sign of preeclampsia, and pain are all managed with the therapeutic use of acetaminophen, making acetaminophen essential to the people who need it,"Dr. Steven J. Fleischman, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists president."The conditions people use acetaminophen to treat during pregnancy are far more dangerous than any theoretical risks and can create severe morbidity and mortality for the pregnant person and the fetus."

Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper “bears direct responsibility” for the fatal stabbing of a woman on the Charlotte rail system. A book on Amazon titled “The Shooting of Charlie Kirk” with a Sept. 9 publication date is evidence the event was staged.
