Boise police have identified a man known as the "Unknown Wanderer" who was found dead in a church in 1982, and revealed a possible link to the Chicago Tylenol murders.
A new analysis of dozens of peer-reviewed medical studies found no link between the use of Tylenol in pregnancy and diagnoses of autism, ADHD or intellectual disabilities in children.
"It's as definitive as we're going to get," CBS News medical contributor Dr. Céline Gounder said of the new research, which found no connection between Tylenol and autism or ADHD.
Kimberly-Clark on Monday said it is buying Tylenol maker Kenvue in a cash and stock deal worth about $48.7 billion, combining the Huggies manufacturer with the owner of Aveeno and Band-Aid.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the makers of Tylenol, claiming it increases autism risk and is deceptively marketed despite decades of research finding no such link and that the medication is safe.
Tylenol maker Kenvue said Texas' claims "lack legal merit and scientific support" and vowed to defend itself in litigation.
It would reflect controversial research pushed by the Trump administration about a possible connection between its use in pregnancy, and autism in children.
Chicago area autism organizations, hospitals, health departments, and families were speaking out Tuesday against the announcement from the White House tying the use of Tylenol during pregnancy to autism.
Medical experts are pushing back against President Trump’s announcement linking the use of acetaminophen — the active ingredient in Tylenol and many cold and flu medications — during pregnancy to an increased risk of autism in children. Dr. Sameena Rahman, with Northwestern Medicine, fact-checked the president’s claims.
President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., made a number of unsupported claims about acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism rates. CBS News take a look at those unfounded claims.
The Trump administration announced it believes acetaminophen is linked to autism risk, but the maker of Tylenol and medical experts have strongly pushed back on the claims.
