Well, OK. I'm not a medical professional. But I have heard the opposite. I actually know someone who tried to kill herself by taking a bottle of Tylenol. Didn't work. And her liver is fine.
But there are also reports of people developing liver problems off of unremarkable doses. It's a Russian Roulette thing to some extent. You can't know if you are susceptible to liver damage from Tylenol until it is too late.
Maybe there are idiosyncratic reactions to Ibuprofen also, I don't know but would assume so.
