Chapter 502 It's Time to Think About Oneself
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, February 3rd, 2014, the American government was the first to announce a preliminary punishment for the Danone Company. The Danone Group must provide medical fees for every U.S. citizen diagnosed with Prometheus One Dependence Syndrome, as well as cover the cost of transportation, nutrition, lost wages, and other expenses incurred in treatment. In addition, they must first pay $100,000 per person in emotional damage compensation. However, this is not the final sum. If consumers are unsatisfied and insist on litigation for higher compensation, courts in every U.S. state will accept those cases.
According to incomplete statistics from the U.S. government, there are nearly 800,000 patients with Prometheus One Dependence Syndrome across all fifty states. Even if compensation is calculated at $120,000 per person, in the U.S. alone, the Danone Group would have to shell out over $98 billion.
