Within a week this group has redeemed 31 million packs of pills. This purchase is one of the first largest purchases in all history of the development of pharmaceutical industry in the USA. After that incident, all Tylenol pill packs have been removed from the market. The consultant Martin Kohl and the manager of the Calle & Company company employed by the president of McNeil Joseph Chiza have decided to release capsules in gelatinous cover under the name "Tylenol Gelcaps" that had to recover 92% of losses of the company. Capsules were on sale in just 10 weeks after the prohibition.

Tylenol remains the leader in sales and controls about 35% of anesthetics market in North America, according to the research published in 2003.
