Published: Oct. 8, 2023, 8:30 a.m.

It\u2019s October 5th. This day in 1982, a massive recall is underway for Tylenol, in the wake of a series of random poisonings and deaths in the Chicago era.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the crisis, Johnson & Johnson\u2019s relatively effective response \u2014 and the very strange ransom letter sent in the middle of it all.
