Essay

You believe the reports are totally false but protests have recently been directed toward your facilities and a politician who seeking an issue has been loudly condemning your organization? Some of your shareholders are suggesting that the company takes its losses on the product by discontinuing it rather than risk further damage to the company and its reputation. What should you do?
