2. What other public relations options did Johnson & Johnson have in responding to the first round of Tylenol murders?

3. Do you think the company made a wise decision by reintro- ducing extra-strength Tylenol?

4. In light of the response of other companies not to move pre- cipitously when faced with a crisis, do you think Johnson & Johnson should have acted so quickly to remove the Tylenol product when the second round of Tylenol murders occurred in 1986?

5. What specific lessons can be derived from the way in which Johnson & Johnson handled the public relations aspects of these tragedies?

6. What was the media environment when the Tylenol crises occurred? How might the results have differed if the crises occurred today?
