Posts on social media stating that Tylenol has not been tested during pregnancy and is not recommended for pregnant women are being taken out of context, Tylenol’s maker said on Sept. 24.

One 2017 post from the official Tylenol X account says, “We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant.” Another from 2019 states, “we haven’t tested Tylenol to be used during pregnancy.”
