One product-tampering incident forced permanent tamperproof packaging worldwide

Evidence

In 1982, a person or persons unknown laced Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules with cyanide, causing seven deaths (Fletcher, 2009). This case of product tampering, along with a rash of copycat incidents, terrorized the public and forced the permanent, costly adoption of tamperproof packaging of over-the-counter products. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2257 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
