Past posts from Tylenol’s official X account have resurfaced this week, drawing attention after the White House issued new guidance on acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
The tweets, dating back to 2017 and 2019, cautioned that the company had not formally tested its products for prenatal use.
One March 2017 post stated, “We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today.”
Another post from June 2019 congratulated a woman on her pregnancy while noting the company had not evaluated Tylenol for use during pregnancy.
These messages, discovered by social media users, have circulated widely after the account, inactive since 2021, was revisited online, Breitbart reports.
The renewed attention followed an announcement Monday from President Donald Trump, accompanied by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Resist the Mainstream noted that the administration advised pregnant women to limit acetaminophen intake, particularly for nonessential use, citing studies suggesting a potential link to autism.
“For this reason, they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy, unless medically necessary,” the White House said.
