What year was the Federal Anti-Tampering Act enacted?

  1. 1980

  2. 1982

  3. 1984

  4. 1986

The correct answer is: 1982

The Federal Anti-Tampering Act was enacted in 1983. This legislation was a response to incidents involving the tampering of consumer products, particularly after the tragic poisoning of Tylenol that led to multiple fatalities. The Act aimed to ensure public safety by prohibiting the tampering of consumer products and establishing penalties for those who caused harm. The choice indicating 1982 is close to the actual year of enactment, but specific details about the timeline narrow down the correct answer to the 1983 timeframe. Understanding the historical context and the reasons behind this legislation enhances comprehension of consumer safety regulations and their implications in pharmacology and public health.
