A company manufactures and sells a chemical product that exceeds the PEL set by federal regulations. Under criminal law, which type of offense does this situation most likely represent?
Negligent behavior
Intentional wrongdoing
Reckless misconduct
Strict liability offense
Strict liability offenses do not require proof of intent or knowledge of wrongdoing. In this scenario, the company's violation of PEL aligns with strict liability, as the focus is on adherence to regulatory standards rather than the company's state of mind. Reckless misconduct involves a conscious disregard of risk, which is not present here. Intentional wrongdoing requires purposeful action, and negligent behavior involves a failure to exercise reasonable care, neither of which apply in this case.
