Nczechowicz Ethics Advisory Memo Final
Nczechowicz Ethics Advisory Memo Final
Parents have reported their children’s injuries to the CPSC, Consumer Product Safety
Committee, who have since called to inquire about these allegations and our company’s safety
standards. Further safety-related accidents will not only result in a recall of LectroKitty and
possibly multiple lawsuits but will also be detrimental to the existence of our brand. While
Kanga must consider the financial repercussions of taking our product off the market to improve
its safety measures, our business needs to stay genuine to our own company’s mission - to
provide children with outstanding and safe toys.
Plan of Action
After considering ethical violations and financial repercussions, we have developed a suggested
plan of action to most benefit our customers' safety as well as Kanga’s reputation. Our four step
action plan is listed below.
LectroKitty’s sales and production should stop effective immediately as of April 12,
2021.
Kanga’s chief design engineer, Suzanne Ciao, and her team will analyze and fix the
product’s issues. Though a three-month halt in sales will impact Kanga’s overall revenue,
we believe the $12 million of gross revenue will be substantial to uphold our employee
contracts.
If necessary, higher officials should sacrifice a portion of their salaries for the three-
month period to ensure employee satisfaction and fair treatment. Kanga must always
keep our consumers and employees in mind while making these difficult decisions.
The three retailers who inquired about selling Kanga products should be notified about
our plan and LectroKitty’s delayed production to uphold a high standard of client
relationships and complete transparency.
We truly believe improving LectroKitty’s design and safety will ultimately lead to increased
sales in the impending future, allowing Kanga to increase our employees’ salaries even more
than before. As stated previously, Kanga’s promise to safety must take precedence within our
company. Though our plan is only a recommendation, we hope you put our plan into action for
the future of our company.
Thank you for your patience. Please contact us with any questions, concerns, or comments
regarding our plan of action.
