I'd go as far as to say that mistakes will always happen, so even if this was a design defect, it could've been handled in a way that doesn't result in people going to prison. As soon as you catch wind of this sort of issue, this is what should be legally required to happen in order to escape lengthy prison time: - immediately take full responsibility and take your products off the market - work with relevant agencies to identify impact and produce a list of everyone who could be affected - recall every device that could possibly suffer from the same issue - offer to pay for preventative medical exams for any customer who's suffering from any early symptoms - offer at least 7-8 figure sum of money to each victim's family - fix the design defect and publish a full transparency report that details the issue and how it was addressed, verified by a relevant agency Just to rub it in, Philips gets to settle without admitting any wrongdoing.
