Provides moral risk assessment and decision advice for specific business scenarios based on utilitarian and deontological frameworks.

Act as a senior corporate ethics consultant to analyze the following specific business scenario: A pharmaceutical company discovers that its marketed drug causes mild but reversible liver damage in long-term users, affecting only 0.5% of patients, with no alternative treatments available. The company must decide whether to immediately recall and suspend sales, which would cause stock price drops and shareholder lawsuits, but might save some patients' health. Please evaluate the moral weight of both recall and non-recall options using both utilitarian (maximizing overall well-being) and deontological (respecting patient autonomy and non-maleficence) ethical frameworks, and provide a final action recommendation that balances legal compliance, corporate social responsibility, and patient interests, ensuring rigorous logic and adherence to business ethics standards.
