A recent publicity announcement on national television, radio, newspaper, and websites announced that Target had issued a product recall for its Circo Night Lights, which are sold in the baby section of the store. Evidently, the battery in the night light can overheat and cause the night light to melt. This presents a safety and fire hazard, which could pose serious risks to families with small children-especially if the night light is in the child's room. Through its recall efforts, Target is taking proactive steps to remove the night lights from distribution as well as to assist customers who purchased the product. Target is offering a full refund and is also investigating the supplier who manufactured the night lights to ensure overheating will not occur with future models. This is an example of a ____________-related ethical issue.

The recall and investigation of the supplier are actions taken to address this ethical issue and ensure the safety of customers. Ethical concerns related to price, promotion, or distribution would not be relevant in this particular case.
