How many Americans know about those limits though? Imagine regular rural folks that just want to get rid of kid's fever or pain.

What percentage of regular rural folks can read the label on the bottle?!? Just how dumb do you think these folks are?

Does "rural" equate to "stupid" and "illiterate" in your mind? It's on the packaging, among other sources of information they have access to.

It is literally printed on every bottle. "Regular rural folks" are not idiots.

It's sold as a different product with different dosage.

No one knows those off-hand. That's why they print it on the bottle. That's why we have regulations that require dosages to be printed on the bottles.

This is how every medicine works.
