Suppression of medical information
- Non-disclosure of medical test results
- Deception about effects upon health
- Public health secrecy
Nature
Companies hide medical test results that show their product to be unhealthy so that they may continue to sell the product.
Incidence
Some USA manufacturers of silicone breast implants deliberately deceived women clients, claiming ruptures of the implants to be much less frequent than their test results showed.
Some USA tobacco manufacturers have failed to reveal commercially unfavourable test results about the addictiveness of tobacco.
