Where it causes mild to severe hepatatitis in most of its users.
Tylenol should have been removed long ago.

No. Dope. It can cause some hepatic necrosis when used in doses higher than recommended orin folks with pre-existing liver disease.

But not hepatitis - that is mostly caused by an infectious agent.

And tell me oh wise one - what would folks take instead of acetominophen for mild to mod pain?

So many totalitarians want to run other peoples lives. Why don't you stick to making decisions for yorself and allow all the rest to do so as well.

Hey, as a nurse in an ICU I don't see the side effects you mention with patients who use it in the normally recommended manner. With borderline suicide attempt patients who've used Tylenol overdose as a means of escape...the effects can be quite nasty.(I've given many a nasty mucomist soda. I've heard there is a new IV mucomist preparation but I haven't seen it yet!)
