7-5 - The Chicago Tylenol Murders

from Killer Stories · host Killer Stories Podcast

This week I'm discussing The Chicago Tylenol Murders. In 1982, a string of deaths were linked to capsules of Extra Strength Tylenol that had been tampered with. This event changed the way we consume medicine and the "tamper proof" packaging of everyday items.https://linktr.ee/KillerStoriessources:https://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2012/Chicago-Tylenol-Murders-An-Oral-History/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/tylenol-murders-1982https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tylenol_murdershttps://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/cold-cases/chicago-tylenol-murders/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/16/us/tylenol-acetaminophen-deaths.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/c501b46c160c342222d3414c286b74a1https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/cyanide-laced-tylenol-kills-seven
