The ProPublica report referenced by the This American Life episode is one of the best longform pieces I've read all year [1]. It contains stories related to your question. One memorable example was from parents that inadvertently lethally overdosed their son over a period of a week via Tylenol Sore Throat. The parents testified that they never exceeded the maximum daily dose during the time period where the toxicity built up enough to kill their son.
