"Very soon, and I have no one particular in mind, some corporate executive is going to be the first in a long line ... So it's going to happen. Do what you can and do the right thing before we find out about it," Blumberg said.

Soon, ain't "SOON" enough. The corporate climate at these companies is one of, "design, manufacture, and promote FIRST, defend later".

Without regard for public safety.
