In U.S. v. Dotterweich, 320 U.S. 277 (1943), a corporation and its president/general manager were charged with delivering adulterated drugs under the Texas Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (TFDCA).

The Court then determined that "it would be too treacherous to define or even to indicate by way of illustration the class of employees which stands in such a responsible relation," and that "to attempt a formula embracing the variety of conduct whereby persons may responsibly contribute in furthering a transaction forbidden by an Act of Congress, to wit, to send illicit goods across state lines, would be mischievous futility." 320 U.S. at 285.
