THE DRINKS COMPANY
You work for a mineral water company based in France. Chemists
working in your research labs have recently discovered minute traces
benzene in sample routinely taken from your bottles. You know benzene
has been found to have carcinogenic properties, but frankly the amount
of benzene in your mineral water is so minute that it presents no
health hazard whatsoever.
Nevertheless, if the story gets out, it could ruin you, especially
as you have no idea how the water was contaminated in the first place.
You could go public and try to limit the damage to your business or
you could keep the whole thing quiet and continue to sell your
mineral water until you’ve sorted out the problem yourself.
Decide your course of action. What reasons lie behind your decision?
