Remember the ages Potassium Iodide Tablets are useful for and the cut-off age for their use.

I don’t know if the sites that sell the stuff mention the ages.

“KI is recommended only for people under 40 and pregnant or breastfeeding people.”

KI protects only against radioactive iodine and does not protect against other types of radiation.
KI protects only the thyroid. KI does not protect other parts of the body.
KI must be taken within 24 hours before or 4 hours after exposure to be most effective.
KI is not a treatment and cannot reverse damage already done to the thyroid.
KI may not give a person 100% protection from radioactive iodine.
Most radiation emergencies will involve other types of radiation and not radioactive iodine alone. Radioactive iodine is most common in nuclear power plant incidents.

"Remember the ages Potassium Iodide Tablets are useful for..."

Copy, pasted, printed and packaged with the IOSAT tablets. I definitely have more research to do on this stuff. While I'm probably past the age of KI beneficial use, my kid's and their kid's could benefit. Thanks for the list of bullet points!
