The Tylenol tampering case occurred in the Chicago metropolitan area in Illinois in 1982. Several individuals ingested cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules, leading to a series of deaths and widespread panic. The incident prompted a nationwide recall of Tylenol products and significant changes in packaging regulations for over-the-counter medications.
YES. Tampering with someone's medications, especially if they are controlled substances by the DEA you could go to prison if convicted.
As of January 2010, the FBI is still looking into 'persons of interest,' there have never been any arrests in the Tylenol adulteration case.
The Tylenol tampering that caused the deaths of several people back in 1982 is recognized as the first case of its type in which the FBI became involved. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_Chicago_Tylenol_murders

If, by your committing perjury, tampering with evidence, or tampering/altering a government document, you changed the outcome of the legal proceeding and caused a 'gross miscarriage of justice' (i.e.- caused a guilty party to be acquited, or an innocent party to be convicted) there are no statutory limitations on your culpability.

The Tylenol case occurred in the Chicago metropolitan area in the early 1980s. In September 1982, seven people died after ingesting cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules, leading to a nationwide panic over product safety. The incident prompted widespread changes in packaging and labeling practices for over-the-counter medications. The case remains one of the most infamous product tampering incidents in U.S. history.
Not unless a court/jury finds that person GUILTY of the crime. Being charged is not the same as being convicted. Without being convicted, the person's record is clean. Meanwhile, if charged.... Get a lawyer! Say nothing until having talked with the lawyer.
The Anti-Tampering Act deals with the offense of tampering with consumer products.
