> The distance between the therapeutic and liver toxic doses is too small for kids, less than 2.5x the max recommended dose
If you’re giving your kid 2.5x the listed maximum dose of a medication, that’s on you.
> a hepatotoxic dose for my 5 year old based on their weight is just 3/4 of the adult daily max recommended dose
Sure, and even a small drink of alcohol can poison a kid. Something being OK for adults doesn’t make it OK for kids. Read the packaging.
It causes >100k cases of poisoning in the US every year. RTFM isn't working.
