It's paracetamol as well as aspirin. I gather there were around 200 deaths a year, and a fair number of liver transplants. After the legislation (in 1998), the figures dropped by around 20%. Of course, those 40 people may have just killed themselves with a different method, but that's probably a good thing in that these pills are said to be one of the least pleasant ways to die. (They destroy your liver and then it takes a week to die, with no cure other than a liver transplant. Not recommended.)
