Faking research data that then leads to the death of citizens from your product should result in a corporate death sentence.

It's not clear if the data is fake. Retraction Watch said it was retracted because:

> authors didn’t fully disclose their ties to Monsanto

and

> He also called out the authors’ reliance on unpublished studies from Monsanto for their conclusions that glyphosate exposure did not cause cancer, though other studies existed.

The problem is always how well one can prove that any harm was done, or that theoretical harm would be done.
