Acetaminophen Causing Autism and AFFF Firefighter Lawsuit Lawyers Will Fight for Justice on Your Behalf

*Video transcript below

After the media exposure of major lawsuits related to asbestos, unsafe diet pills, and other class actions, one might think that companies would go the extra mile to protect the public. Unfortunately, we still see frequent news stories exposing health issues related to product exposure. Some of the latest cases involve prenatal acetaminophen exposure causing autism and AFFF firefighter foam leading to cancer.

If you or a loved one have suffered these or other difficulties, a national personal injury lawyer may be able to help. At Greg Jones Law, we’ve seen what can happen when companies don’t take measures to protect the public. Unfortunately, the effects may take years to become apparent — and by then, the damage to a person’s physical, mental, and financial wellbeing may have already occurred.
Such outcomes are never acceptable, but when negligent companies harm heroic firefighters and children who have not yet entered the world, it’s even more outrageous. If you’ve been harmed due to product exposure, our personal injury law firm may be able to assist. There are deadlines to file, though, so it’s important to reach out as soon as possible.

Can You File a Lawsuit if Acetaminophen Caused Autism?

Every week, nearly one-quarter of American adults use a medication containing acetaminophen. It’s the most commonly used medication ingredient on the market, and it’s often the go-to treatment for pain and fever. However, recent studies have discovered that exposure to the drug while still inside the womb can have serious effects. In fact, research showed an increase in both autism and ADHD rates among those with prenatal acetaminophen exposure.
If you or a loved one have experienced harm due to such exposure, you may wonder whether you have a valid lawsuit for acetaminophen causing autism or ADHD. In many cases, the answer might be “yes.” This is because medication manufacturers have a duty to protect the general public — especially when they’re putting out a product as widely used as acetaminophen. When they fail in this duty, they could be held liable for damages.
Of course, most medications do have potential side effects. For instance, individuals who were once prescribed Accutane were specifically warned that taking the medication during pregnancy could harm their child. Therein lies the primary consideration: they were warned. The same cannot be said for those who took acetaminophen during pregnancy. As such, you may be entitled to substantial financial compensation if you or a loved one were harmed.

Can an AFFF Firefighter Foam Lawsuit Secure Compensation?

As a national personal injury law firm, the legal professionals at Greg Jones Law have repeatedly seen heroic individuals face health issues related to contaminant exposure. Veterans who were around Agent Orange and first responders on 9/11 immediately come to mind. However, we’re now seeing an influx of health issues among firefighters who worked with the common fire retardant known as aqueous film forming foam (AFFF).
This material is widely used in every state and is often the most effective way to extinguish high-octane fuel fires. Even if a firefighter never encounters such a fire, they’re likely trained using the material. Unfortunately, exposure to AFFF chemicals has now been linked to the following:

Kidney cancer
Prostate cancer
Liver cancer
Ulcerative colitis
Bladder cancer
Testicular cancer
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Breast cancer
Thyroid cancer
Thyroid disease
Pancreatic cancer

While this list may seem extensive, it’s actually far from exhaustive. There are a variety of other negative health outcomes we’ve already seen from firefighter foam exposure, and it’s possible that other side effects may become known as time goes on. If you’ve been diagnosed with a serious health condition — even after minimum exposure to the substance — you may have a valid AFFF firefighter foam lawsuit on your hands.

How Do You Know if You’re Entitled to Financial Compensation?

Whenever news breaks related to health complications caused by medications and consumer products, people often wonder whether they may be eligible for compensation. To answer this question, it’s important to establish a few baseline facts. For instance, it must first be shown that a company, employer, organization, or other entity had a duty of care. In the case of acetaminophen causing autism and firefighter foam causing cancer, this duty likely exists.
That’s because companies have a responsibility to safeguard those who may be exposed to their products. When they fail to do this, they’ve violated their duty of care. However, this isn’t enough. It must also be shown that this violation led to injury or damages of some kind. For instance, a person would not likely qualify for personal injury compensation if they suffered no negative health outcomes after prenatal acetaminophen exposure or working with AFFF foam.
However, the development of a disease related to such exposure would likely meet the threshold of establishing liability. By violating their duty of care in such a way that causes harm or losses of some kind (e.g., financial, physical, emotional), companies become liable for those damages. If you believe you or a loved one were harmed after exposure to firefighter foam or acetaminophen in the womb, it’s important to speak with an attorney to see if you’re owed compensation.

At Greg Jones Law we’re investigating cases where women who were pregnant is accusing Tylenol and generic acetaminophen in causing their child’s autism spectrum disorder or ADHD. There has been dozens of product liability lawsuits filed against the distributors of Tylenol and generic acetaminophen with Tylenol and autism. The research indicates that Tylenol [00:00:30] is not safe to take during pregnancy. Fetal exposure to Tylenol or the generic actinin could definitely lead to a higher chance of the child developing autism or ADHD. In other words, the more Tylenol that the mother took during pregnancy, the greater the chance that the child would have a neurodevelopmental disorder.

So now we have this emerging litigation, due to this emerging research. There [00:01:00] has been an influx of product liability lawsuits or lawsuits against big pharma, and it’s not just against the manufacturer of Tylenol, it’s also against some of the biggest drug stores and distributors out there. They basically allege in the lawsuit that the corporations failed to warn that using the store brand drugs during pregnancy could cause the child to develop autism or ADHD. Big pharma doesn’t want to warn cause they don’t want to [00:01:30] lose the profit. They put profit over people. So now these cases are consolidated into a multi-district litigation. These cases will be expedited, that we can get a consistent and speedy result. When people contact Greg Jones’s law, there’s several things I want to know. Why did the mother take Tylenol or generic acetaminophen? How often was it used? What was the dose? [00:02:00] And also I’m going to ask, where did the mother purchase the Tylenol? But at this point, I want to talk to everybody I can, cause at Greg Jones’ law, we strive to make sure that families, children get the best representation and they get justice that they so richly deserve.
