Senate Bill Would Hold Corporate Executives Criminally Accountable for Not Disclosing Lethal Product Defects

That is why on July 16, the Hide No Harm Act was introduced in the Senate. According to a news release issued by the legislation's co-author, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the purpose of the bill is to:

Make it a crime for a corporate officer to knowingly conceal the fact that a corporate action or product poses a danger of death or serious physical injury to consumers and workers. The bill, which would create punishments of up to five years in prison and potential fines, would also create a safe harbor from criminal liability in cases where a corporate officer notifies a federal regulatory agency and individuals subject to the danger.
