There was a time when people in the US died from randomly poisoned Tylenol, yet today it's the go-to OTC pain relief medicine in America.

Right, but it's pretty significant that it was Samsung who produced the exploding phones, while it was a criminal who tampered with perfectly good Tylenol pills. I'm sure that Samsung would take less of a hit if there were an individual who was attached small explosives to Galaxy Note devices.
