Imagine That You Work at a Company That Manufactures Infant

question 4

Essay

Imagine that you work at a company that manufactures infant products. While filing documents related to the development of a new stroller, you notice that some engineers have expressed concern about the safety of the locking mechanism. When you ask your boss about these safety concerns, he tells you to forget that you ever saw the documents and shred them. What are the ethical concerns with his instructions? Would you follow his direction? If not, what would you do and why? Write a memo discussing your plan of action (or inaction). Be sure to justify your decisions by discussing the applicable ethical standards. Be prepared to share your thoughts with a small group or with the class.
