An old Tylenol tweet is being taken out of context. Medical groups continue to back its safety in pregnancy.
When Tylenol’s parent company addressed President Donald Trump’s warning this week about a link between Tylenol and autism, it said the active ingredient, acetaminophen, is the safest pain reliever available for pregnant women.
Two days after Trump’s news conference, social media sleuths found an old tweet from the company that they said undermined the company’s message.
“We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant,” Tylenol wrote March 7, 2017, replying to another post. “Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today.”
The post Tylenol replied to has since been deleted, so it’s impossible to know what comment prompted this reply nearly eight and a half years ago.

And misinformation spewed by AI-driven chatbots has become more of a feature than simply a bug.
