Description
An insight into the way businessmen weigh the claims of profits and conscience on the balance sheet when they stand to make a lot of money from a new product which has certain risks attached. Eventually they must decide whether to take the product, in this hypothetical case a cosmetic product, off the market and close a factory with the subsequent loss of jobs or accept the possible risk of a life or two.
