12:00 PM EDT, 09/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Kenvue ( KVUE ) shares were up more than 3% in recent Tuesday trading after medical experts and organizations disputed US President Donald Trump's warning over Tylenol's potential links to autism when used during pregnancy.
Trump on Monday urged pregnant women to avoid taking acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol and the active ingredient in Kenvue's ( KVUE ) Tylenol drug, saying it can be associated with a "very increased" risk of autism.
According to Reuters, the European Medicines Agency said there is no evidence that it needs to update its recommendations for the use of paracetamol during pregnancy, while the World Health Organization said evidence of the drug's link to autism was inconsistent.
Reuters also said British health agencies maintained that paracetamol was safe to use during pregnancy.
