If you were manufacturing toothpaste and decided to substitute diethylene glycol for glycerin, would you consider it your ethical obligation to tell the consumer?

CASE STUDY

Solve the case based on these elements

  1. Case
  2. The rule
  3. Analysis
  4. Conclusion

In Brazil, the export industry always finds ways to cut costs. The international community expressed its dismay at the manufacturers’ latest cost-cutting decision to replace flouride with diethylene glycol in toothpaste. Flouride is designed to strengthen teeth enamel. Diethylene glycol is a poisonous substance used to make chemicals that are widely used by the automobile industry.

The end product exported from Brazil was poisonous toothpaste that was not labeled to indicate that it contained diethylene glycol. When the poisonous chemical was found in the toothpaste, Costa Rican government officials issued a warning telling consumers to discard the toothpaste. In 2019, a study found that toothpaste containing diethylene glycol was harmless if the chemical concentration was below 15.6 percent. The contaminated toothpaste found in Costa Rica contained levels as high as 5 percent. Costa Rican government officials warned that it was unsafe in any concentration. It is especially harmful for children, as well as those suffering from weakened kidneys.

In July 2020, due to growing concern about the safety of the imported toothpaste, the Costa Rican government banned all manufacturers from using diethylene glycol in toothpaste. Investigators believed that the toothpaste originated from two small manufacturers in the Brazil but the manufacturers denied any wrongdoing.

The contaminated toothpaste was found in five shipping containers but there have not been any confirmed illnesses or deaths from using the contaminated toothpaste.

If you were manufacturing toothpaste and decided to substitute diethylene glycol for glycerin, would you consider it your ethical obligation to tell the consumer?

How would you describe the trend of CPI from January 2019 to July 2022? Overall, which component contributed most to the CPI? Which component contributed the least?

DISCUSSION ESSAY

Inflation has been running high in recent months. According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), “The Labor Department on Wednesday [August 10, 2022] said the consumer-price index, a measure of what consumers pay for goods and services, rose 8.5% in July from the same month a year earlier, down from 9.1% in June. June marked the fastest pace of inflation since November 1981.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) defines the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as “a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.” (https://www.bls.gov/cpi/)

Because food and energy prices often change in a very volatile way, BLS also keeps track of the so-called Core CPI which measures the changes in the price of goods and services, excluding food and energy.

The following graph from WSJ shows monthly CPI from January 2019 to July 2022, as well as the contributions from the core CPI, food, and energy.

Question 1. How would you describe the trend of CPI from January 2019 to July 2022? (3 points). (Provide 3 different Analyses to receive full credit **)

Question 2. Overall, which component contributed most to the CPI? Which component contributed the least? (2 points)

Question 3. The CPI dropped sharply in the spring of 2020, almost close to 0% around the late spring – early summer. Based on the information contained in the graph, what was the cause of the sharp decline in CPI? Explain why you chose that sector. (2 points) (Provide an explanation to your answer to receive full credit**).
