> In China, there was a case of baby formula execs knowingly selling product that was harmful and led to tens of thousands of hospitalizations and a handful of deaths. They were executed.

To be sure, a dairy farmer (Zhang Yujun) and milk salesman (Geng Jinping) were executed[1]. At the highest corporate levels, Sanlu general manager (Tian Wenhua) initially got life in prison...except she'll be released next year after 15 years.

No executives were executed in this scandal.
