History

Historical Context

In 1982 seven Chicago residents died after cyanide-tainted Tylenol capsules, prompting Johnson & Johnson to recall 31 million bottles and spurring the FDA’s first nationwide drug recall and federal anti-tampering laws. Those reforms mandated tamper-evident seals, a standard that now guides Dreyer’s 2026 Outshine Fruit Bar recall after glass fragments were found.
