I think something went wrong here: Acetaminophen is a trade name for acetylsalicylic acid.

Acetaminophen is the name of a drug not a trade name (trade name in the US is Tylenol), and acetylsalicylic acid is aspirin.

Oh, sorry! Wikipedia turned out a lot of interesting stuff about pain medication and their respective trade names in different countries (who knew there was an article on "Paracetamol trade names"?), but I failed the copy/paste bit.
If you have a minute I would encourage you to fix it. No need to stand by a copy paste error.
