A more charitable interpretation of the overdose on acetaminophen is that people are bad at handling pain and we should help with that. And also when in a flu-like state, people (me included) have trouble keeping up with their dosage. One other thing is that many compound otc drugs (marketed as 'get through this' for ) also have acetaminophen... I'll also say that being pregnant is the medical wild card. You shouldn't do, eat, take, catch anything. It doesn't help discriminating between the level of risks you're taking when anything you do is forbidden. Having such a risky drug at hand mechanically increases the risk of overdose and we should strive to find better alternatives, I think. It doesn't have to be more control, since it won't help you at home and will just make suffering people more miserable, but tech could help here, with delivery or packaging for example. 700 dead people isn't nothing. And putting a 'Darwin Awards' tag on them feels the same as 'pilot blaming' in aviation: not likely to increase safety.
