While reading Dr. Goldhaber’s informative, enlightening and empowering book, I was reminded of an incident that occurred when I was a young child. I became fascinated with an old industrial pedestal fan, the kind with the steel blades that moved with the speed of an airplane propeller. It kept the air circulating in my father’s friend’s workshop. The fan didn’t have a cover. The owner, to my delight, would talk into the back of the fan to sound like a robot. I didn’t understand the science behind this at the time and I didn’t care. I only wanted to be a robot too. While he and my father were not paying attention, I went up to the back of the fan to make my voice sound like a robot. Imagine my surprise, when I found a warning label that I thought was what my grandfather called the “funnies.” It was structured like a comic strip with 3-4 panels. At that time, I was obsessed with comic books and the Sunday Funny Papers. I had just begun to learn to read. I tried to read everything, including that warning label. It demonstrated in graphic detail what would happen if someone were stupid enough to stick their hand in the blade of the spinning fan. I pondered this “comic” while making robot noises. The owner of the shop and my father noticed my antics. They rushed to stop me from decapitating myself. The shop owner quickly unplugged the fan, while my father picked me up and looked me over for amputations. No one listened to my protests, namely, that I had no intention of hurting myself. I just wanted to read the comic and be a robot. That was my first encounter with safety labels. It would not be my last.
My father and his friend made me hyper-cognizant of all the safety labels in life (including mattress tags). I always found them to be obvious and insulting to my intelligence. I felt that the people (I have to face facts, I am not exempt from this idiocy) who injured themselves by doing stupid things that the labels warned against were examples of natural selection at work. While reading Dr. Gerry Goldhaber’s book, Murder, Inc., I realized how vital they really are to honesty and the evolution of modern civilization. Dr. Goldhaber is one of the intellectual entities that runs a team which creates warning labels. Labels that are designed specifically to protect consumers from harm and the industry from pricey and decimating lawsuits.
The nation’s leading safety warning communications expert, Dr. Gerry Goldhaber, has worked with 100 of the top 500 corporations, 50 of the top 100 law firms, and governmental agencies like the FDA. In Murder, Inc., Dr. Goldhaber explains the importance of protecting American consumers and industry, and the criterion needed to create effective warning labels. He writes, “...we try to: (1) identify the at risk; (2) determine the precise nature of the hazard and its concomitant risk; (3) determine whether codes and/or regulations suggest or require a warning; and finally (4) further determine whether the potential hazard is known or unknown by the typical product user or consumer at the time of use.”
When an industry elicits Dr. Goldhaber’s aid as their ethical and moral compass, his guidance invokes in them practices that are beneficial for the longevity of their business. This seems to be anathema to our current accelerated globalized economic climate of instant gratification and instant profits. Murder, Inc. shows us that time and time again, companies that are honest and forthright about their products by providing sound and helpful instruction to protect their consumers do better in the long term. Companies that knowingly distribute poorly manufactured and dangerous products enact a “reactive economic model,” more concerned about the short term profit motive and reacting after the fact to injuries and deaths. The end results are class act lawsuits that cost more than what it would have cost them to fix their product in the first place. Surprisingly, many companies adopt the “reactive model.” Murder, Inc. explores a variety of companies that implemented both proactive and reactive economic models.
Dr. Goldhaber writes, “In recent years, we have witnessed some terribly disturbing and shockingly blatant examples of corporations attempting to hide—or simply engaging in outright denial of—any knowledge of seriously defective components in their products. It is often only due to scores of horrific incidents resulting in unconscionable numbers of fatalities and injuries that these deceptions come to light in the glare of subsequent media scrutiny.”
With Murder, Inc., his website www.Goldhaber.com and Youtube channel www.GerryonYouTube.com, Dr. Goldhaber, is like a muckraker “from the Progressive era. His work conjures the spirit of muckrakers from America’s past, like Upton Sinclair, author of The Jungle, a novel that exposed the awful practices of the meat packing industry, and Ida Tarbell, founder of investigative journalism and author of The History of the Standard Oil Company. His work is also reminiscent of more recent muckrakers, like Hunter S. Thompson, Bob Woodward, Greg Palast and Erin Brockovich. Brockovich feels the same, because she wrote a piece of introduction and appreciation in the beginning of Dr. Goldhaber’s book.
Erin Brockovich writes, “...we are able to find out things faster than ever, to sort through information, to become more self-aware, and to protect ourselves better than ever. That is a good thing, but most won’t know how to use that technology for research. This book is a wonderful tool that can help people navigate their way through a plethora of information.”
As muckraker, though, Dr. Goldhaber in Murder, Inc., doesn’t demonize capitalism, or those who are proponents of our capitalistic consumer society. He understands that for the American public to survive and thrive, businesses, consumers and regulatory agencies must exist symbiotically within the system. All three must be held accountable and work together in what Dr. Goldhaber calls the “legs of a Proactive Safety Triad.” Murder, Inc., states that the best way for the triad to work together starts with the manufacturer’s full principled disclosure, consisting of the following ten steps:
1. Warn specifically for hidden hazards not likely to be known by users at the time of purchase or use.
2. Don’t warn for open and obvious hazards that have high awareness among the public.
3. Follow all appropriate warning codes, standards, and regulations.
4. Communicate efficiently without sacrificing needed warnings and safety information.
5. Avoid information overload/obfuscation with clear, succinct, easily understood language.
6. Clearly communicate both the nature of the hazard and the consequences of exposure.
7. Provide appropriate instructional information to avoid the hazard and/or its consequences.
8. Design warnings conspicuously (appropriate size, color(s), signal words, location(s), etc.).
9. Use pictographs to enhance the comprehension of a warning’s written language.
10. Use the best, most appropriate communication channel(s) to deliver the safety message.
While it seems that it would be in the best interest for every company to give full disclosure and use the proactive economic model, Murder, Inc. gives examples of businesses that thought they were too big for failure or thought that they couldn’t afford to recall faulty products. They chose the reactive economic model.
The most recent example, “The Takata Corporation shipping out millions of potentially explosive, shrapnel-firing airbag modules that have killed 11 people worldwide, to date, and resulted in the largest and broadest automobile recall in history. It has affected at least ten major auto manufacturers and has impacted millions of lives.”
Then, there are the companies that take the high road, like Daikin from Japan, creators of industrial-size AC units. A manufacturer with over “15 billion in annual sales and operating in 140 countries. They also hold the distinction, to the best of my knowledge, of having never been sued in the United States for failure to warn about the potential hazards of their products …. this company’s approach to the issue of principled disclosure that has enabled it to remain lawsuit-free. Their story reveals how the process works well when it is done right.”
Murder, Inc. also discusses government regulatory agencies like, but not limited to, the EPA and the FDA. According to Dr. Goldhaber, our governmental regulatory agencies fall short at the protection that they are supposed to provide consumers. Large amounts of money from lobbyists of big businesses have caused our current administration to roll back and lessen regulations and protective elements within manufacturing that impact our food, environment, pharmaceutical drugs, etc. It seems that it is only going to get worse, to the point where America’s citizenry’s health and well-being suffers. Again, the short term immediate profits reactive economic model is implemented, at the expense of the future.
Easily accessible to readers and with a keen sense of humor, using pop culture references like Monty Python to reiterate and illustrate points, Murder, Inc. shows us how principled discourse and accountability shared between industry, consumers, and governmental regulatory agencies can ensure properly functioning products that are safe for public consumption. It also shows us how shared accountability is for the betterment of everyone worldwide.

"Goldhaber shows how corporate profitability has often won out over
safety and why regulating manufacturers can be challenging...Based on solid research and Goldhaber’s experience in the field, and introduced by the activist Erin Brockovich, this
book by the author of Organizational Communication (1989) is a solid choice for both casual readers and those with a
passion for safety. A safety expert’s engaging and well-written guide to hazards at home, at work, and elsewhere."

If you have a black spatula in your kitchen or other black plastic items around your house like takeout containers, they could contain high levels of toxic flame retardants. Those chemicals — which have been linked to cancer, neurological damage, and hormone disruption — in spatulas are especially concerning, experts say, because they can easily enter our food. These results were published in the journal 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 in early October.

The supermarket baby food aisle in the U.S. is packed with non-nutritious foods containing far too much sugar and salt and misleading marketing claims, a new study found. “Early childhood is a crucial period of rapid growth and when taste preferences and dietary habits form, potentially paving the way for the development of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and some cancers later in life,” said Dr. Elizabeth Dunford, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, which co-authored the study. Sixty percent of 651 foods that are marketed for children ages 6 months to 36 months on 10 supermarkets’ shelves in the U.S. failed to meet recommended World Health Organization nutritional guidelines for infant and toddler foods, according to the study, which was published yesterday in the peer-reviewed journal 𝘕𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴.

𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽: Perdue Foods LLC is recalling numerous chicken products due to the possibility the product may be contaminated with metal. In a news release posted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, over 167,000 pounds of “frozen, ready-to-eat chicken breast nugget and tender products” are being recalled due to foreign material, “specifically metal,” potentially contaminating the meat. The recall notice says Perdue received complaints from customers stating that they found metal wire embedded into the chicken products.

The 𝘋𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘪𝘵 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 conducted a month-long investigation, finding automakers overseen by federal regulators are making little progress when it comes to repairing their oldest vehicles that have potentially life-threatening defects. The issues are putting millions of folks on the road at serious risk. U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who has focused on consumer issues, is pushing his bill to enact a nationwide ban on dealers selling used cars and trucks with open recalls, saying “some of these safety defects are serious and potentially extremely dangerous. But consumers have no idea about them, often, when they purchase used cars, and the dealers should have an obligation to repair them before they sell them.”

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐫, 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 & 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐬: A new study published in 𝙅𝘼𝙈𝘼 𝙋𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙨 shows that children who’ve used tablets at three-and-a-half years old were more likely to exhibit signs of anger, frustration, difficulty sleeping, and losing interest in activities. The findings are based on a survey of more than 300 parents of preschool children. Researchers suggest that increased screen time can take away opportunities for interacting with caregivers or playing with other kids. “These results suggest that early childhood tablet use may contribute to a cycle that is deleterious for emotional regulation,” the researchers wrote.

It’s been a brutally hot summer, and there’s little sign of relief. The U.S. continues to grapple with an oppressive heatwave that is believed to have killed at least seven people in the west, and has spurred safety warnings across large swaths of the country. Keep an eye on the heat risk in your area and modify what you’re doing and when you’re doing it. If you must be out in the heat, drink lots of fluids, including electrolyte drinks, and seek shade whenever you can to cool your core body temperature to prevent heat stroke.

PFAS are “forever” in the news. Another “profit over people’s safety” example with 3M and Dupont having kept the evidence private for decades. Contamination in the Falls reached far beyond the Love Canal. PFAS are a class of man-made chemicals that are used to waterproof and stainproof many products – from raincoats to mascara, dental floss to clothing, and couches to cooking pans. They can persist for many years in the environment.
The EPA finalized a rule in April to limit the amount of six PFAS chemicals in the drinking water, citing concerns over their effect on human health. Yet water utilities and chemical companies are challenging the recent rule from the EPA that limits some PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” in drinking water. At least three lawsuits against the rule were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit this month.

Pressed at yesterday’s Senate hearing, Boeing’s CEO David Calhoun insisted on a renewed safety culture. “You are cutting corners, you are eliminating safety procedures, you are cutting back jobs because you are trying to squeeze every piece of profit you can out of this company,” Sen.

It’s about a company, a once iconic company, that somehow lost its way.” My book murderincbook.com explores the enormous benefits to the Safety Triad (consumers, corporations and government agencies) when safety is prioritized over profits.

A federal appeals court has killed a ban on plastic containers contaminated with highly toxic PFAS “forever chemicals,” which are found at alarming levels in food, cosmetics, household cleaners, pesticides and other products. They are called forever chemicals because they do not easily break down in nature or the human body. A unanimous three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals opined that the EPA overstepped its authority by issuing the orders, since they were rooted in a section of the federal toxic chemical law reserved for regulating “new” chemicals.

Seven thousand eight hundred. That’s the number of ER visits linked to water beads from 2016 to 2022. The dangers posed by water beads - small gel balls sold as toys for children - can find their way into the digestive tracts, ears, noses, and lungs, where they can contribute to hearing loss, infections, bowel obstructions, blocked airways, and even death. Some water beads are as tiny as a cupcake sprinkle but can grow to the size of a marble.

“There are issues around the safety culture in Boeing. Their priorities have been focused on production and not on safety and quality,” FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker said. The FAA Chief explained his recent trip to Boeing manufacturing facilities left him with the belief that “there are issues around the safety culture at Boeing.” He went on to tell NBC’s Lester Holt that Boeing’s protocols were “not what you would’ve expected if safety was the first priority.”

Lithium-ion battery caused deadly Harlem apartment building fire, FDNY says. One person was killed, 17 were injured and dozens of people were displaced. The raging fire forced dramatic and rare rope rescues. Before the cause of the fire was determined, e-bikes and their batteries were seen being pulled from the building. The fire began inside a third-floor apartment and quickly spread, trapping unprepared residents above the flames.

The company has recently been hit with several class action lawsuits, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington state and Los Angeles County Superior Court. In one case, plaintiff alleges the company, Pacific Market International, “engaged in a campaign of deceiving customers by failing to disclose the presence of lead in its tumbler products.” The controversy started on social media with customers using at-home lead tests to see if their Stanleys contain lead. As it turns out, they do. Stanley cups contain a lead pellet that seals the vacuum insulation at the base but Stanley spokespeople said that the lead pellet is nothing to worry about. And remember, the more informed you are, the safer you’ll be!
