Your project involves the research and development of a new food additive. You’re ready to release the product to your customer when you discover that a minor reaction might occur in people with certain conditions. The reactions to date have been very minor, and no known long-lasting side effects have been noted. As project manager, what should you do?

A. Do nothing because the reactions are so minor that very few people will be affected.

B. Inform the customer that you’ve discovered this condition and tell them you’ll research it further to determine its impacts.

C. Inform your customer that there is no problem with the additive except for an extremely small percentage of the population and release the product to them.

D. Tell the customer you’ll correct the reaction problems in the next batch, but you’ll release the first batch of product to them now to begin using.
