Paper Summary:
This paper analyzes the ethical issues involved in the Pinto Case, a case that raises a number of ethical issues from different points of view, testing the way business operates and how business actions are and should be judged. Ethics in the automotive industry have been debated at least since the mid-1960s when Ralph Nader published his book on the dangers of the Corvair automobile, charging that General Motors was knowingly developing and selling a poorly designed vehicle. In the pinto case, the issue raised addressed product liability, and the Ford Pinto was deemed dangerous because of a gas tank that could explode in even the most minor impact.More papers on The Ford Pinto:
