That's basically why we need regulation.

Hardcore libertarians say the free market would fix this, but even if you do get sick it's hard to attribute to which exact product you got sickness from. And in any case this is all after the fact that you bought the thing.

9 people died from this outbreak. The settlements from those 9 deaths should bankrupt the company and put them out of business, or at least close that facility permanently. I feel sorry for the innocent people who may lose their jobs, but those are the same people that should have prevented the problem to begin with. That factory was a stinking mess, and it should have been completely obvious to everyone who worked there.
