I can't figure what's taken the FDA so long to do this. I have been warning my friends and family for over 20 years of Tylenol's harmful effects.

Whatever happened to consumer responsibility? I read labels and never take more than the prescribed amount. I do not agree that these products should be removed from the market. Perhaps just a more attention-getting warning label...
