Of course they knew. They are not retarded.

I am not certain though that the immunity they were given just will cover them in the end. In the US, according to some training I had some years ago, exists something called "Duty of care". You are not allowed to produce a product knowingly dangerous to someone without caring. That responsability was personal, each individual has a responsability to care for the health of users of their product, if they know of some risk. That document there points at their knowledge of potential risks, and they did nothing. We will see.

Edit: some Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_of_care.

But responsability seems civil law, not penal law.

That they asked for an immunity waiver also points that they disregarded their Duty of care.
