A Case Study You are an engineer charged with performing safety testing and obtaining appropriate regulatory agency or outside testing laboratory approvals of your company's product. The Gee Whiz Mark$2($GWM$2)$ has been tested and found compliant with both voluntary and mandatory safety standards in North America and Europe. Because of a purchase$-$order error and subsequent oversights in manufacture, $25,000$ units of GWM$2$ were built that are not compliant with any of the North American or European safety standards. A user would be more vulnerable to electric shock from one of these units than from a compliant unit. Under some plausible combinations of events, the user of the bad unit could be electrocuted. Retrofitting these products to make them compliant is not feasible because the rework costs would exceed the profit margin by far. The company agrees that because of this defect the agency safety labels will not be attached to the bad units, as per the requirements of the several agencies. Only two options exist:a$.$ Scrap the units and take the loss, orb. sell the units. employee of the company notes that many countries have no safety standards of any kind for this type of product. It is suggested that the bad units be marketed in these countries. It is pointed out that many of these nations have no electrical wiring codes; if codes exist, they are not enforced. The argument is thus advanced that the bad GWM$2$ units are no worse than the modus operandi of the electrical practice of these countries. Assume that no treaties or export regulations would be violated in marketing the bad units to these countries.

Now, based on the case study

$1)$ Identify the ethical dilemma

$2)$ Identify the relevant codes of ethics

$3)$ Establish any potential conflicts in the identified code of ethics

$4)$ Evaluate the moral frameworks to resolve any conflicting codes of ethics

$5)$ Made a recommendation$/$decision
