It added it is ‘safe when used as directed by expecting mothers, infants and children’.
« The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism, » the statement continues.
« Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label.
« High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester. Remember to talk to your doctor.

Barack Obama appears to have taken a swipe at Donald Trump following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Kirk was killed while speaking at an event organized by his company, Turning Point USA, at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, has since been charged with several offences, including aggravated murder and obstruction of justice.
Obama, the 44th POTUS, was speaking at an event in Pennsylvania on Tuesday evening (September 16), where he admitted the US faces a ‘political crisis’ after the assassination of Kirk.
According to a transcript released via CNN, Obama added: « Look, obviously I didn’t know Charlie Kirk. I was generally aware of some of his ideas. I think those ideas were wrong, but that doesn’t negate the fact that what happened was a tragedy and that I mourn for him and his family. »
He continued: « He’s a young man with two small children and a wife who obviously – and a huge number of friends and supporters who cared about him.
« And so, we have to extend grace to people during their period of mourning and shock. »
Obama then seemingly criticized Trump’s handling of the situation, referring to how he navigated the Dylann Roof incident.
The 31-year-old is on death row after killing nine people in a mass shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015.
The former president said: « When I was president in the aftermath of tragedies, when Dylann Roof went into a black church and, based on his own words, shot a group of folks who were engaged in Bible study and who had invited him in.
« And according to him, it was for racist reasons. As president of the United States, my response was not ‘who may have influenced this troubled young man to engage in that kind of violence and now let me go after my political opponents and use that’. »
Obama continued: « And so when I hear not just our current president, but his aides, who have a history of calling political opponents ‘vermin’, enemies who need to be ‘targeted’, that speaks to a broader problem that we have right now and something that we’re going to have to grapple with, all of us.
« Whether we’re Democrats, Republicans, Independents, we have to recognize that on both sides, there are people who are extremists and who say things that are contrary to what I believe are America’s core values. »
He went on to say that those ‘extreme views’ were ‘not in my White House’.
The White House has dismissed the comments made by the former president, telling the BBC in a statement: « Obama used every opportunity to sow division and pit Americans against each other.
« His division has inspired generations of Democrats to slander their opponents as ‘deplorables,’ or ‘fascists,’ or ‘Nazis’. »
Barack Obama opens up on decision to speak out against Trump after leaving the Oval Office
Barack Obama has explained why he decided to speak out about Donald Trump and his administration after leaving the White House following his second term in 2017.
The 44th POTUS had planned to fall into the shadows after his presidency came to an end, but he has been a vocal critic of Trump in his first term, as well as his second in the Oval Office.
While Obama was relatively quiet after Trump’s first inauguration in January 2017, he called out the Republican president for how he handled the Covid-19 pandemic, and has been full throttle on his criticism during the second term.
The former president seemingly has no plans to return to politics, though he revealed recently how he thought he had no choice but to return due to a lack of leading figures in the Democratic party that could challenge Trump on a range of issues.
Speaking to Marc Maron on the WTF Podcast, Obama said: « I actually found myself drawn back in to day-to-day politics or commentary more than I wanted to.
« There were a lot of terrific people who were doing good work, but, you know, we have this weird situation where you don’t have a designated person who’s speaking on behalf of the whole party. »
Obama continued: « I thought I was going to be able to remove myself more from being out there in public and was going to be able to concentrate on what I really wanted to do, which was coach the next generation of leadership, [but] I kept on being asked to comment on news of the day.
« That’s flattering and it’s an indication you’ve made a connection with people, but I tried to be a little bit disciplined about recognising I had to move onto a new phase. »
Most recently, Obama has been critical of Trump’s handling of the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Kirk was killed while speaking at an event organized by his company, Turning Point USA, at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Speaking at an event in Pennsylvania shortly after, Obama admitted the US faces a ‘political crisis’ after the assassination of Kirk.
According to a transcript released via CNN, the former president added: « Look, obviously I didn’t know Charlie Kirk. I was generally aware of some of his ideas. I think those ideas were wrong, but that doesn’t negate the fact that what happened was a tragedy and that I mourn for him and his family. »
