- mikeyouse 8y agoIt's funny -- That J&J case is taught almost universally in ethics and business courses because it was so clearly the right thing to do, the company did so at great expense, and engendered so much good will. Then it turns out during the same period they were actively misleading about the problematic nature of their talc. Since then, they've had several other scandals including bribing doctors all over Europe[1], were successfully sued over defective transplants that they knew about[2], shipped a poorly tested and dangerous vaginal mesh that also got them sued[3], among other just awful actions. It's looking more and more like they stumbled onto the correct course with the Tylenol episode and shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt for anything else.

- agumonkey 8y agoI just learned about J&J through an XBOX history video. Microsoft said the failing rate was a tylenol moment for the xbox project. And now J&J fails to honor their past. Weird.
