After tests showed that breathing machines made by Philips Respironics could spew dangerous particles and fumes into the lungs of patients, the company in April 2021 decided to stop shipping the devices from its factories near Pittsburgh.
Philips notified the Food and Drug Administration and said it was considering a recall.
But for the distributors of the devices, the company had another message: Keep selling them.
These types of people who knowingly commit crimes that can and do affect others’ health, purely in the pursuit of greed, should face the death penalty. I’d rather see the C-Suite assholes rot in jail than low level drug offenders.
Lock him up. All these CEOs and other business people get away with harming and killing countless Americans, and their companies get meager fines. It is not okay.
Thanks asshole, I hope this replacement you gave me doesn’t do the same.
I’m too nervous to use it, too broke to replace it.
I had a baseline x-ray taken of my lungs this week because of these assholes.
They should be charged with murder
Negligent homicide, amirite folks‽
As long as these fuckers don’t get punished in the way it really hurts their bottom line, they’re going to keep pulling the same shit.
In a functioning society the decision makers would be facing criminal charges and possible prison time and restitution.
Fuck their bottom line. Someone made that decision. Put them in jail.
No do both. If it only hurts one person, they’ll just find scapegoats. It has to affect everybody who benefited off it.
Dolla dolla bill
Capitalism externalities for the win.
What was the argument; they get higher pay, because of the responsiblity they bear? Then why is it often the company getting a fine, instead of the CEO/Manager making illegal decisions going to jail?
In a just society, that’s a straight to prison kind of offense.
