It's weird that you're surprised, it's one of the most dangerous otc drugs, and is the leading cause of liver failure on the planet. I'm always surprised that British people treat it like aspirin, because an overdose can easily kill you.
I'm serious. Over 50% of all liver failure is due to acetaminophen, and 20% of liver transplants.

That's not what that study says.
It says it is responsible for 50% of the overdose-related acute liver failures. Acute liver failure is rare, especially compared to chronic liver failure.
Well, c'mon, let's be fair. Your source says overdose-related liver failure. And reading further, most of the overdoses are either intentional (suicide attempts) or a result of addiction and opiate/acetaminophen combination drugs.
