那些年大牌公司打响的声誉保卫战
强生 • 危机:强效泰诺引发恐慌 • 时间:1982年 说到公司信誉危机,1982年强生(Johnson & Johnson,《财富500强》)生产的偏头痛药泰诺引发的恐慌是数一数二的案例。当时,七名芝加哥地区的居民服用了掺有氰化物的超强泰诺后身亡。这家公司立即召回了3000多万瓶泰诺,同时着手研制新的防伪包装。大多数医药专家都断言,强生无法从这次打击中恢复过来。然而,强生重视对消费者的关怀,从而拯救了这个一线品牌。市场信息机构Euromonitor International 提供的数据显示,2013年,泰诺是美国第六畅销的止疼药。 |
Johnson & Johnson • Crisis: Extra-strength Tylenol scare • Year: 1982 When it comes to crises in corporate history, Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ, Fortune 500)1982 Tylenol scare tops the list. Seven people died in the Chicago area from consuming Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. The company immediately recalled more than 30 million bottles and went to work creating new tamper-proof packaging. Most medical experts concluded that the drugmaker would not be able to recover from the stumble. However, Johnson & Johnson's emphasis on customer care saved one of its top brands. In 2013, Tylenol was the sixth best-selling pain reliever in the country, according to data from market intelligence firm Euromonitor International. |
