Question:

Ethics and stakeholders Lee and Alex are discussing labeling for product 121, LO 1 one of their company's products that will be exported overseas to country C.

Lee: In the US, product 121 must be labeled as possibly hazardous to humans. I think the warning is unnecessary, though, because the amounts shown to present a hazard are much higher than people will encounter with normal use of product 121. Given this evidence, country C's laws do not require us to label the product as possibly hazardous to humans.

Alex: I had a work assignment in country C for two years, and I know that its res¬ idents would avoid a product with product 121's US labeling. I think we should leave out the cautionary statement. After all, we'll be in compliance with country C's laws.

REQUIRED Taking into account the various stakeholders in this situation, discuss reasons for and against putting a cautionary statement on the labels of product 121 that are shipped to country C. What would you recommend?
