Fighting for New York Families
For decades, pregnant women throughout New York were advised that Tylenol and generic acetaminophen products were the safest pain relievers during pregnancy. Healthcare providers across Buffalo, Rochester, and statewide routinely recommended these medications, assuring expectant mothers they posed minimal risk to their developing babies. Recent scientific research has revealed a troubling connection—prenatal acetaminophen exposure may significantly increase a child’s risk of developing autism spectrum disorder.
William Mattar Law Offices is investigating cases where children developed autism after their mothers used Tylenol or other acetaminophen products during pregnancy. If your child was diagnosed with autism and you took acetaminophen while pregnant, our New York Tylenol autism attorneys are prepared to help you seek justice and compensation.
Despite mounting scientific evidence, manufacturers failed to provide adequate warnings about these serious risks to New York families. Our experienced legal team believes these companies should be held accountable for failing to alert pregnant women and their healthcare providers about the potential dangers of these widely used medications.
