Litigation status — updated July 24, 2026: On July 13, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reinstated three of the plaintiffs’ five expert witnesses and revived roughly 550 acetaminophen autism/ADHD cases, returning them to the federal trial court in New York (Rutledge v. Walgreen Co., 2026 LX 395794 (2d Cir. July 13, 2026)). Kenvue, Tylenol’s maker, said on July 13 that it is “exploring all options regarding this decision” and “will continue to defend these cases,” and news reports indicate the defendants will ask the full Second Circuit to rehear the appeal. Unless the full court grants rehearing, the July 13 decision stands and the cases proceed in the trial court. The appeals court decided only which experts may testify — no court has decided whether acetaminophen causes autism or ADHD, and there is no settlement.

Case Update — July 16, 2026: On July 13, 2026 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit revived roughly 550 acetaminophen (Tylenol) autism and ADHD cases, reinstating the plaintiffs’ expert witnesses and sending the litigation back to the trial court. The court expressly did not decide whether Tylenol causes autism or ADHD. There is no settlement, and no payout has been ordered.

Pull three things: your pharmacy prescription profile (from the CVS or Walgreens app, or the pharmacy counter), your store loyalty purchase history (ExtraCare, myWalgreens), and any FSA/HSA or card statements showing acetaminophen purchases. Together these can corroborate that you bought acetaminophen during your pregnancy, even though it is an over-the-counter product.

Key Takeaways

  • Because Tylenol is over-the-counter, proving purchase years later relies on layered records.
  • Useful sources: pharmacy prescription history, store loyalty history (ExtraCare, myWalgreens), digital receipts, bank/card statements, FSA/HSA statements, and Amazon order history.
  • No single perfect record is required — several partial sources build a convincing picture.
  • Pharmacy prescription records are covered by the HIPAA right of access (about 30 days, reasonable fee).
  • The Tylenol litigation team can help identify and obtain the records that matter most.

Which records help — and where they live

Several sources can document acetaminophen purchases: pharmacy prescription history (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, grocery pharmacies), useful if any acetaminophen was prescribed and to show the pharmacy relationship; store loyalty or rewards history (CVS ExtraCare, myWalgreens, Target Circle, Kroger Plus), which often captures over-the-counter purchases tied to your account; digital and emailed receipts; bank and credit-card statements from the pregnancy window; and FSA/HSA statements, which often itemize acetaminophen as an eligible expense.

How to request your CVS records

For prescription history, log in to the CVS app or CVS.com and open your prescription records, or ask your CVS pharmacy to print a patient prescription history / patient profile for a date range. For ExtraCare purchase history, sign in to your ExtraCare account and review purchase history, or contact CVS customer service to request the purchase history tied to your ExtraCare card. Specify the date range covering your pregnancy so nothing relevant is missed.

How to request Walgreens & other pharmacy records

For Walgreens, use the app or website to view prescription history, or ask the pharmacy for a printed patient prescription profile; myWalgreens purchase history is available through your account. For Walmart and grocery pharmacies, request a pharmacy patient profile at the counter and check any linked rewards account for OTC purchases. If you bought acetaminophen on Amazon, your account’s order history shows past purchases, and you can request a full copy of your order data through Amazon’s “Request Your Data” privacy tool.

Privacy and your right to your own data

These are your own account and prescription records, and pharmacies have processes to provide them. Prescription records held by a pharmacy are also covered by the HIPAA right of access, which generally requires a response within 30 days for a reasonable, cost-based fee. If digging through years of accounts feels like a lot, you don’t have to do it alone — when you request a free review the team can help identify which records matter most and, where appropriate, assist in obtaining them.

Frequently asked questions

How far back does CVS purchase history go?

ExtraCare and prescription histories often go back several years, though exactly how far can vary by account and system. It is worth requesting even for older purchases, and pairing store records with bank or FSA/HSA statements from the same period.

I didn’t have a rewards card. Can I still prove purchases?

Often yes — through bank or credit-card statements, emailed digital receipts, FSA/HSA itemizations, or Amazon order history. No single record is required; multiple partial sources can corroborate purchases.

Does over-the-counter Tylenol show up in prescription records?

Usually not, since OTC purchases aren’t prescriptions. That’s why loyalty/rewards history, receipts, and FSA/HSA statements are so useful for documenting OTC acetaminophen. Prescribed acetaminophen would appear in the prescription profile.

Is requesting these records going to cost me a lot?

Generally no. Account and rewards history is typically free through your online account, and HIPAA limits pharmacy record fees to reasonable, cost-based charges.

Do I need these before contacting a lawyer?

No. A free review comes first. If you move forward, the team can help gather and organize these records.
