It is similar to when gas producers were putting lead in the gas.... despite knowing the effects of lead in the environment and on humans.
So instead of owning up to the damage they were causing (or the government doing anything to prevent it), they were allowed to continue for many decades and cause country wide contamination and lead poisoning in people....
The punishment? Massive profits... and then eventually (after a very very long time) they were told to cut it out. There is no accountability, that isn't how America handles public safety issues.
