10. (10 points) This scenario discusses social responsibility and ethics. No product is perfectly safe, nor can a perfectly safe item be made. All have risks. You currently have a safety feature included on your car seats that make them (slightly) safer but decreases profitability. If you stopped adding the feature your company could make an additional \$1 million dollars in profit for each 100,000 car seats sold, but it would increase the likelihood of injury by an estimated 1 in 100,000 of infant death. Thus, if you sold approximately 100,000 car seats, that could result in one infant death. For each infant death, there is a 50% chance your company would be sued and your expected value of legal losses are $500,000 for each time you are sued. You have been asked to decide whether the safety feature should be included. What do you think should be done, and why? Write 1-2 paragraphs defending your position, use concepts from the course
