Advil was not on the market by that name until the 1980s, but Morris was looking for it in 1978?

  • Ibuprofen was available in 1978, but not commercially as Advil, so this is an error?

  • This was possibly meant as a reference to ibuprofen generally - prescription or otherwise?

Anyone remember the Tylenol tampering case? Late 70s I think it was. Don't believe anyone was ever held accountable...but I think that is one reason why the assorted bottles have the seal on top...seal broken...don't use. What was it, 3-4-5 people died after using Tylenol that had been...something...cyanide was put in the capsules? Chicago area.

I think this was attributed to a wife who killed her husband. But she tampered with a bunch of boxes so it would seem random. I might have that totally wrong. But something is tugging at my memory of it.

I've never heard that! My husband and I were just talking about that the other day and wondering what happened with it :)
