Cosco, the world's largest children's products company, recently sold a high chair that could be used as an infant feeding seat, a youth chair, a play chair, a booster chair, and when reclined, an infant bed for $49. The prototypes had been tested by Cosco employees who had small children, but this was the only product testing performed. Once sold, several children were injured and some died as a result of using the chair. Cosco was charged with being unconcerned about consumers' right to _______.

Respuesta :

Answer:

right to safety .

Explanation:

Consumers have aright to use a companie's products safely without getting injured.

Cosco testing the product with its employee's children will produce subjective results because the employee is a stakeholder in the company and may not truthfully report results if thy will affect sales and resultantly their salaries.

The testing should have been carried out by parties with no stake in the company or product.

Because children were involved the courts will tend to have more sympathy to the plaintiffs. Cosco was eventually fined $1.3 million for breach of the customer's right to safety.
