Eventually, after a series of unexplained deaths and lingering illnesses in the local community, the company’s actions are discovered.

Give a 6-8 sentence statement that answers the following questions:

Or should liability be imposed on the corporate officers or even the president of the company? (Points : 40) No plagiarism. add your references
