I'd be happy to pay for their ibuprofen if they can prove the adverse effect

But that is not what this regulation would have you do. It would require you to actively monitor your HN comments for adverse effects and proactively publish up-to-date fixes and disclaimers on how to avoid those negative outcomes. The affected parties don't need to prove harm, they only need to prove that you failed in your support/maintenance duty.
