It has been reported. "Pharmaceutically analysis (HPLC) of the green tea capsules did not give evidence for contaminants but revealed the two typical compounds of green tea, namely (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG, 93.2%) and epicatechin (EC, 6.8%) at a very high dose level." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24862489/

Even though not known as a major hepatotoxic supplement, cases of liver failure have been described. If any suspicion, stop taking the supplement and let your doc know.
