1955

McNeil Labs releases liquid acetaminophen as prescription pediatric drug (Tylenol) for children; then in 1958 as pill for adults; then in 1967, J&J (which bought McNeil) makes it OTC; Tylenol sales soar (212-13). Sterling Products blew it when it decided to limit 1956 release of Panadol (acetaminophen) by Bayer Ltd to Britain (207).
