What was claimed

Tylenol use during pregnancy may be linked to reduced reproductive development in daughters, new study warns

Our verdict

Accurate

A recent study found that 3-month-old girls exposed to Tylenol in utero had smaller ovarian volume, smaller uterine volume, and fewer ovarian follicles, with researchers emphasizing their study does not prove the pain medicine is to blame. The use of "may be linked" appropriately reflects the association without claiming causation. (Only 1 of 3 AI systems responded.)
