Wait until people find out that paracetamol is a neurotoxin, especially for children, and is only available for sale because it got grandfathered in (it was in wide use when the FDA was formed).

Paracetamol is bad for the liver. You would die of an liver failure before any neurologic damage.

True if you're more than 5 years old. More than 3 doses under 2 and it affects neurodevelopment permanently.

In germany at least its forbidden for children under 4. At least the safeguards here are preventing some of the deaths stemming from paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen(the latter two can be really dangerous if combined)
