Show summary

Support The greater the number of people who regularly use a product, the greater the number whose health is potentially at risk due to that product. ████ ██████ █████████ ███ █████████ ███████████ ████████ ████ ██ ████████ ██████ ███ ████ █████████ ████ █████████ ███ ████████████ ██████████ ██████████ ██ ██ ████ ████ █████████ ███ ████ █████████ ████████ ██ ██ █████████ ██████ ██ ██████ █████ ██████ ████ ██ ██ ███ ████████████ █████████ ██ ██ ██ ███████

Summary

It’s even more important to test household products like cleaning solutions and lawn chemicals for safety than it is to test prescription medicines for safety. Why? Because the more people who use a product, the more people’s health can be risked by that product. And more people use household products than use prescription medicines.

Notable Assumptions

The argument assumes that the importance of testing a product for safety is proportionally linked to how many people’s health may be risked by that product. That’s the missing link between the premises and the conclusion.

To justify the argument, we need to find a principle that tells us that if a product potentially risks more people’s health, then it’s more important to test that product for safety.
