So what? We got two livers for a reason, a main one and a backup.

The Myth of Two Livers
There is a common myth that some animals, particularly cows, possess two distinct livers. While this idea has been perpetuated in various cultures and folklore traditions, it is entirely untrue. In reality, cows, like all mammals, have a single liver that is divided into four lobes. This misconception likely arose due to the fact that the liver is the largest internal organ in many animals, and may appear to be multiple organs when viewed from certain angles.
The Truth: Animals with Two-Lobed Livers
While true examples of animals with two distinct livers are rare, there are some species that have a divided liver structure. One such example is the platypus, which has a two-lobed liver that is divided down the center. This structure is believed to aid in the digestion of the platypus’ unique diet of worms and other small aquatic creatures. Similarly, some species of marsupials, such as kangaroos and wallabies, have a liver that is divided into two distinct lobes.

What I noticed is there is no attempt to determine if the damage is DUE to taking supplements, or because people experiencing problems are more likely to TAKE supplements.
Seems that makes the entire article worthless.
It may be the equivalent of saying wet roads cause rain...
The article reads like a big-pharma hit piece on their competition. Herbals have been around for a long, long time. If the potential was as big as they say, we would have seen it by now.
You are correct. If dosed correctly it is a very safe drug. It is metabolized in the liver quite safely via combining with glucoronide and then excreted in the bile. However, in high doses all the glucoronide is used up and it then undergoes a different metabolic pathway which forms a free radical. The free radical is extremely reactive with the liver cells and kills them. Take a bunch of tylenol and it will kill you unless you get very prompt treatment, hours not days for the treatment.
The limit on the container is, I think, 2. If you take 3 Tylenol at once you are asking for trouble.
In fact, you should take every multiple medication with pauses between the pills. They do things in bunches that they wouldn’t do alone. My amateur but experienced advice, anyway.
In other words blah, blah, blah!.🙄
