As well as a BIG risk!

In any decent society, not really. This risk can be greatly mitigated by regulations, occasional independent review and transparency.

For example, I can rely that I won't get food poisoning in a restaurant. This is because we have rules of how to handle food (designed by expert consensus), and the restaurants are inspected from time to time if they follow these practices.
