Hi
OK, so it says I started using Advil since they said that the Tylenol pills were harmful to one's health.
I understand it doesn't say it happened "in the press this January" but you only added that part, right?

The expression "X scare" is very idiomatic. (replace X with something else)
For instance, the phrase "red scare" indicates a period when people feared Communists.
So, "that pill scare" refers to the time when people were scared or worried about using Tylenol (because of the side effects, I suppose)
