The real problem is the whole idea of self regulation of companies. We should have inspectors and things like this should be randomly bought and inspected.

I agree, and, furthermore, corporate death penalties for this kind of shit need to be an actual thing. Did your actions directly cause disease and death? Yes? Great, we're dissolving your board, banning them form serving on the board of any publicly traded company for a decade, liquidating company assets, and criminally charging anyone who touched this shit with a 10-foot pole.

thats a bridge to far for me but I would really like regulation to go back to what we were doing in the 70's

You're entitled to that opinion, but if I go out right now and murder someone with my vehicle due to deliberately or accidentally getting drunk, I'm probably going to jail. Corporations have demanded that they be treated as people, so...fine. Let's give them what they want.
