I am the one who is concerned about culture and religious significance not docs. I posted here to make people understand that pseudoscience and consuming random herbs and spices in the form of supplements is dangerous. There are many people who are taking turmeric milk as some healing agent, even I drank it a few times in the past when I wasn't aware of all this.
That was my point. They were the victims of toxins labelled as supplements. Liver failure due to herbs is a serious issue and we should be very careful with supplements and herbs.

I see at least 15 different sites on google, selling turmeric supplements.

To everyone else reading this,
People seems to be giving positive reviews, everyone seems fine and not dying right ? Turmeric as a supplement is toxic but not a lethal substance, there is a difference. Toxins are supposed to be avoided, they can cause serious harm. Don't test your body for toxin tolerance. Most of these supplements have piperine extract so these are dangerous and should be avoided.
Also, many deaths due to liver failure are considered as death due to jaundice. I knew a few people personally who died because of liver failure which happened due to alcohol but the official cause of death was jaundice or some other condition which occurred because of liver damage. Unless the biopsy of every liver is performed there is no way to tell if these supplements were the real reason of death that's why these brands are able to avoid an outright ban.
Also, when Liver 52 was tested, Lead and Cadmium was found in it. 
Personal experience is not evidence of anything. Just because you drink something assuming it is beneficial, or your general medicine doc who has no idea about herbs induced liver injury has recommended something, that doesn't mean his recommendations are automatically an evidence and I am jumping to wrong conclusion.
