Violation of the
Federal Anti-Tampering Act occurs when any product has been affected by the
actions of the perpetrator. With a business attack, tainting or switching
labels may happen on a retail level. Elements of this crime include the
involvement of a consumer product such as a drug; the tainting of that product
or the switching of product labels to make them materially false; and intent to
cause serious injury to the business of a person.
The extortion
method also can be tied into the business manipulation approach. An example is
a crime involving a protection racket, in which the taint is tied to a demand
for payments under threat of closing down the store or causing grave damage to
the reputation of the business.
