We've seen example after example of "Scientists & Business" knowing full well that their products are harmful and doing everything they can to cover that fact up and prevent the public from learning the truth, and even examples where the FDA itself knew full well that the products are harmful and yet the products are allowed to continue to be sold.
The entire system is broken and part of what is missing, perhaps the most important part, is accountability and meaningful consequences.
Obviously, companies who were genuinely unaware that their products were harmful and who immediately recalled and ceased production of those products after finding out aren't the biggest problem, but they still show that the product safety testing practices of both the company and the FDA are inadequate.

If a company has a list of buyers of their product, they should be able to hand that to healthcare providers and have those healthcare providers check medical records to see if, for example, everyone who uses this brand of toilet cleaner ends up getting arthritis 10 years later.
