Yes. It has happened many times. In addition to this, in 2006 Bayer was discovered to have been selling a vaccine in the United States that was also contaminated with HIV. Once discovered, Bayer covered its tracks by pulling the vaccines off the U.S. market and sold them to consumers in Japan, France, Spain, and other countries, where hemophiliacs were then contaminated with HIV due to the vaccine. And yet, despite these apparent crimes, no Bayer executives ever faced arrest or prosecution in the United States!
