On September 29, 1982, three Chicago area residents became ill
and died after ingesting Extra-Strength Tylenol later found to be
poisoned with cyanide. They were the first of seven victims to
lose their lives after taking the over-the-counter pain reliever,
which had been tampered with. The case would create a national
panic over the safety of nonprescription medications and lead to
new standards for pill packaging.

Seventh grader Mary Ann Kellerman was the first to die after
taking the medicine overnight to combat a sore throat.
