About this listen

The year is 1982. Neon is in, synth-pop is it, and America's favorite headache cure is suddenly… well, a terminal headache. Join us as we unpack the OG corporate crisis—where Johnson & Johnson had to prove their best-selling pain reliever wasn't a secret cyanide delivery system. It’s a story of random victims, a nationwide panic, and the birth of the tamper-evident seal. Because nothing says "we care" like a plastic wrap you can barely open.
