People at that time were very naiv of the risks of medicines, even using the newly discovered Radium in all kinds of medicines and other applications, completely unaware of the risks of radiation. This added to the complete freedom without control of the companies that could develop these products, only testing if it worked to sell them, without having long-term tests. Late consequences did not matter to them at all, they counted immediate gains.
