Taking that much of any over the counter medication without paying attention to dosage or labels is not “easy to overdose”. Thats “being an idiot”.
Easy to “overdose” would be something like naproxen sodium (alleve) where you shouldnt take more than two tablets in 12 hours. It would be understandable if someone took two and then took another one or two 6 hours later thinking it would be okay.
Even if someone did stupidly do what you describe, taking 5 grams of tylenol over the course of a day isnt going to melt your liver and kill you. It just will cause minor liver damage, which is generally not what people consider truly overdosing and is going to be unnoticeable to the average person. To actually OD on tylenol in an immediately dangerous way would require a lot more than 5 grams of tylenol, even if someone took it all in one go. Which again, is unrealistic for anyone other than an incredibly stupid and reckless individual
