This is the US, a backwards uncivilized nation, so I suspect upper management will walk away from this mostly unscathed and even see bonuses for their profit maximizing actions. They can't blame their suppliers because they are supposed to be QA testing all of their inputs and their final product, it shouldn't require the FDA to raid the plant and do on-site testing for something like this to be discovered. In a civilized nation there would be arrests of company executives resulting in life sentences or capital punishment.
Remember how the FDA recently didn't find out about tainted baby formula until the CDC traced a string of infant deaths to an Abbot plant? How the executive branch had given Abbot a waiver that allowed them to self certify and even after multiple QA managers at the plant had filed whistle blower complaints nothing had been done. How the executives and board of Abbort didn't face criminal charges but got 20 million dollars in bonuses and the industry celebrated because that year they saw record profits due to the supply shortages it created enabling them to further price gouge the US public.
How when a similar tainted baby formula incident happened in China, the executives received life in prison and capital punishment.
