They replaced the aspirin with acetaminophen because it is toxic to the liver
FIFY
they both are, but acetaminophen in single large doses is quite toxic, while aspirin is cumulative requiring days or weeks to develop. Aspirin also causes GI bleed. It is a well known fact that pain pill addicts often have liver damage from the acetaminophen. Retired oral surgeon here.

From the abstract.
"The mechanism for acetaminophen liver damage is quite clear. It produces hepatic injury as a result of a large single overdose, usually suicidal in intent. Patients with acetaminophen blood levels higher than 300 mg/dL at four hours after intake are most likely to develop hepatic damage; when N-acetylcysteine is used within the first ten hours after ingestion of an overdose, the recovery rate is reported to be virtually 100%. The conditions of patients receiving long-term full doses of either aspirin or acetaminophen should be intermittently monitored for hepatic injury."
...if you take enough over a longer period of time.
The point I was attempting to make is that a relatively safe aspirin (used appropriately) was replaced with a significantly less safe acetaminophen (used appropriately).
Probably a large dose of aspirin at once would cause significant GI bleed. I do know that even a low dose of aspirin can cause what they call 'occult bleeding'. Pretty safe though. Both are not good in large doses. Aspirin is a miracle drug though, and if discovered today would likely be by prescription. If I had one drug to keep while on a desert island, it would be the aspirin.
