Unexpected? Vitamin A hypervitaminosis is not poorly understood. 19th century polar explorers were dying due to polar bear liver ingestion. Patients under-estimate risk because "They're just vitamins." It's why many countries regulated their sale to Rx only.

It was bound to happen. How unfortunate for these innocent children.
