FDA ends Tylenol strychnine search in California
After testing more than 372000 capsules, the FDA concluded no additional Tylenol bottles in California were laced with strychnine. Three bottles from Oroville's Long's Drug Store were linked to a sickened man, Greg Blagg, 27, who fell ill on September 30. His wife, Terry, had purchased two bottles, and investigators later found a third bottle in the same store. FDA official William C. Hill called it likely a local problem.
