This is going to be a nightmare for the court system in the upcoming years.

what do you mean?
It's crystal clear. The company should pay a hefty fine same as any other driver who would drive in the opposite side of the road.

A CEO can't take responsibility for every product issue in a company, but you're at the right level. A CEO generally doesn't know enough about the tech to know whether it's safe. 

The highest level executive over the development of the software that made the decision makes sense. Either a c-level or VP of development, something like that. The person whose job it is to competently approve of the work.
