In this case, for example, manufactures sold young children pajamas that had chemical named Tris, could harm children’s health. Another example is manufactures sold 450,000 baby pacifiers which can cause death. Yes, dumping has raised a moral issue. The manufacturer wanted to avoid the profit loss and they knew that all the products can hurt lots of people’s health; still they sold items across the country. I agree that such an ethical theory is based on the premise that right and wrong are determine by what one’s society says is right and wrong. Sometime we human do not think about an particular issue and make our decision according to our society.
