In the fall of 1982, an unseen terror gripped the Chicago area as a seemingly innocuous over-the-counter medication turned deadly. Unbeknownst to the victims, Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules had been laced with lethal doses of cyanide, leading to the tragic deaths of seven innocent people. This chilling episode, known as the Tylenol Murders, not only shocked the nation and reshaped the landscape of product safety forever but became a textbook example of crisis management and effective crisis communication. As a leader, it is your responsibility to be prepared for any situation that might occur with regard to your business. Are you prepared?
