Corporate Social Responsibility Methamphetamine (meth) is an addictive synthetic drug made primarily in small toxic labs (STLs) in homes, tents, barns or hotel rooms. The manufacturing process is hazardous, frequently resulting in explosions, burns and toxic fumes. The government has spent substantial resources to find and eradicate STLs, imprison meth dealers as well as users, treat addicts, as well as provide services for families affected by these activities. Meth can't be made without ephedrine or pseudoephedrine which are ingredients in cold and allergy medications. Arkansas has one of the highest numbers of STLs in the United States. In an effort to earn the costs of dealing with the meth epidemic, twenty counties in Arkansas marched a suit in a federal district court against Pfizer, Inc., and other businesses that make or distribute cold and allergy medications. What is the defendants' ethical accountability in this case, and to whom do they owe it? Why?
