Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit [2026 Update] | Acetaminophen Autism ADHD Claim

The Tylenol Lawsuit is ongoing, and our lawyers are still accepting claims.

All Daubert briefs regarding the admission of scientific expert testimony have been submitted to Judge Cote.

Both parties have filed reply memorandums supporting their motions to exclude certain expert witnesses proposed by each side.

These reply memos counter arguments made by the opposing party in response to the initial exclusion motions.

Each individual expert witness has a separate brief, totaling several thousand pages including supporting exhibits, across three rounds of briefing.

Judge Cote will soon conduct hearings to consider these motions and may directly engage with some experts.

A hearing is planned for the week of December 5, 2023.

If you took Johnson & Johnson Tylenol or store-brand Tylenol during pregnancy and your child was subsequently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or other developmental disorders, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit.

The Tylenol Lawsuit is ongoing, and our lawyers are still accepting claims.

Rite-Aid Corporation has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection due to the substantial costs of opioid epidemic lawsuits and recent revenue losses.

The company’s bankruptcy petition was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, as it faces unresolved lawsuits related to its role in the opioid abuse crisis.

Rite-Aid is involved in Tylenol lawsuits, claiming that over-the-counter acetaminophen products used during pregnancy can increase the risk of autism or ADHD.

Plaintiffs intend to meet with the company’s bankruptcy counsel to discuss how the bankruptcy will impact the litigation.

The remaining cases are expected to undergo a bellwether process to gauge how juries may respond to certain evidence, potentially influencing future Tylenol settlements.

In a collaborative letter submitted earlier today, the parties informed Judge Cote that they have completed the updates to the Plaintiff Fact Sheets.

Additionally, they have revised the health records authorization forms necessary for new plaintiffs joining the case.

These adjustments aim to address logistical challenges that have emerged and to simplify the information-gathering process for new plaintiffs.

In reaction to the Plaintiffs’ notice of their intention to submit additional expert reports from two of their experts, the defendants have raised objections.

Defendants argue that any supplementation involving the new study is belated and violates Rule 26, as it was accessible only in a pre-print version, which differs from being formally published in a journal.

In anticipation of the forthcoming Daubert hearings, Judge Cote has requested that both parties present logistical plans for the hearings.

The defendants are advocating for an extensive, week-long hearing to grant them additional time to challenge the scientific evidence.

The plaintiffs are advocating for a much more condensed process and have proposed that Judge Cote streamline the hearings by pre-identifying the experts she deems essential to hear from.

Amid the delay of Judge Cote’s ruling related to which experts can testify in trial, plaintiffs’ attorneys have motioned for Judge Cote to exclude several defendants’ experts from testifying in trial.

The reasons for these proposed dismissals are various, but generally revolve around alleged document biases these experts may have on the litigation and the science linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy and the risk for autism and other developmental disorders.

It is unknown when Judge Cote will make her decision about these issues part of the daubert motions.

In April, Judge Cotes, who is presiding over the Tylenol Autism litigation, asked the FDA to submit an opinion regarding the plaintiffs’ request to place new warning labels on Tylenol containers.

The decision was to be made by September 15th, however, the FDA submitted a statement on September 8th saying that it does not want to weigh in on pharmaceutical litigation.

That said, the FDA will not release its opinion regarding the plaintiffs’ request for warning labels.

This could have significantly boosted or hindered the litigation for the plaintiffs–if the FDA agreed with the plaintiffs’ request, it would be a strong indicator in court that the government agrees that Tylenol can cause autism in newborns.

If the FDA disagreed with the plaintiffs’, then it would indicate the opposite belief, and Judge Cote would possibly have dismissed all of the cases.

If you took Johnson & Johnson Tylenol or store-brand Tylenol during pregnancy and your child was subsequently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or other developmental disorders, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit.

Tylenol Autism MDL Judge Cote will make a decision on the daubert motions that must be filed by September 19th, with a potential to greatly impact the course of the litigation.

Daubert motions are petitions to exclude expert testimony in court, and if Cote decides in favor of the plaintiffs’ and permits their expert testimony, the plaintiffs’ argument would receive a significant bolster.

Four (4) days before the daubert motions must be filed, the FDA is required to present its decision regarding the litigation about the warning labels for tylenol packaging.

This will be submitted under an extension on September 15th.

This litigation is complicated, as it includes many defendants such as Johnson & Johnson, the retailers who sold Tylenol, and who may have also manufactured their own store branded generic acetaminophen.

There are various states in which these cases are filed, which are in the preliminary stages of litigation and a consolidated action in federal court pending in the United States District Court – Southern District of New York.

In the Southern District of New York, retailers’ motion to dismiss and court order.

The defendants, Target and CVS, filed motions to dismiss claims for cases that were governed by Texas and California State Laws.

Their argument is that laws applied to those states are contrary to FDA regulations, and the state law should be applied, dismissing the cases.

On May 15th, 2023, the Court entered an order that granted the dismissal of one case based on Texas law, and denied the motion to dismiss when applied to a similar law in California.

The court entered a discovery order which requires all claimants with pending cases to complete and produce a Plaintiff Fact Sheet, which is a tool that is used in complex litigations to assist in the gathering of information.

Subject to Judge Cote’s approval, there are updated timelines to consider:

• By July 21st, the defendants must designate their experts.
• The plaintiffs, on the other hand, have until July 28th to provide their rebuttal expert report.
• Additionally, the defendants will proceed with deposing the plaintiffs’ experts.
• Once designated on July 21st, the defendants are committed to ensuring their experts are available for deposition from August 25th to September 12th.

The Tylenol Autism Lawsuit is ongoing.

The defendants, Johnson & Johnson, filed an interlocutory appeal regarding the evidence used in the case.

They claim the scientific evidence proving Tylenol use during pregnancy can cause Autism spectrum disorder in children is illegitimate.

This type of appeal is seldom granted, but if the judge approves the appeal, it would likely halt the case for a year.

Legal experts say this appeal attempt will most likely be denied, as the assigned judge to the case is determined to expedite the legal process, not halt it.

Several plaintiffs have also begun filing lawsuits against store-brand Tylenol manufacturers, like Walmart.

Walmart’s Equate Acetaminophen (tylenol) has been on store shelves for years, yet Walmart did not provide any warning that the medication could cause autism in newborns.

The number of lawsuits filed against store-brand manufacturers is increasing, with Walmart being one of several stores and pharmacies that could face new lawsuits.

The Tylenol Autism Lawsuit is ongoing.

Last week, a Texas judge granted a motion to dismiss failure to warn claims against retailers like CVS, Target, and Walmart.

This is in accordance with a Texas law (section 82.007 (a)) that says pharmaceutical product distributors cannot be held accountable for failing to warn consumers of risks if the packaging of the product was approved by the FDA.

The Tylenol packaging was FDA approved throughout the entire time these retailers were selling the product, so the companies cannot be sued for failing to warn the public in Texas.

This halts all cases in Texas filing failure to warn lawsuits, however other claims related to the Tylenol Autism lawsuit remain active in Texas.

In California, a similar motion to dismiss was requested by the retailers based on a very similar law, but the judge denied this request.

This indicates that the success of failure to warn claims comes down to which state the lawsuit is being filed.

If you used Tylenol during pregnancy and your child was subsequently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or other developmental disorders, you may be eligible to file a Tylenol Lawsuit.

The Tylenol Autism ADHD Lawsuit is ongoing.

Our Tylenol Lawyers are speaking to potential clients about their claims and determining their eligibility. 

Recently in the Tylenol MDL (Acetaminophen – ASD/ADHD Products Liability Litigation MDL 3043), Judge Cote issued an order to deny Johnson & Johnson’s motion to dismiss the Tylenol Lawsuit on the basis of preemption.

J&J’s motion stated that the plaintiff’s allegations of their failure to warn of the potential for ASD and ADHD are preempted by federal regulations on drug labeling.

Judge Cote’s order stated the fact that J&J’s preemption argument does not stand due to the fact that the federal regulations did not prevent them from adding warning labels to the drug, allowing the Tylenol Lawsuit to move forward.

These are minor hurdles in the Tylenol Litigation and are expected defense tactics from the likes of Johnson & Johnson and other major acetaminophen manufacturers.

Court proceedings in the MDL are underway, and plaintiff’s lawyers drafted a possible warning label for Acetaminophen products that outlines its risks for the development of autism and ADHD.

The proposed warning drafted by the plaintiff’s counsel reads as follows:

“Autism/ADHD: Some studies show that frequent use of this product during pregnancy may increase your child’s risk of autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

If you use this product during pregnancy to treat your pain and/or fever, use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible frequency.”
