A US pharmaceutical company has claimed for years that their medication would cure headaches, but they were lying the entire time. The medication was nothing more than candy that they sold as medicine so they could make a high profit.
What should happen to this company and why?

Nothing; a company in a capitalist economy can say whatever they want as long as they make a profit.

Nothing; it is the consumer's responsibility to figure out if a product is living up to its claim and stop buying it.

A punishment; unfair practices and false claims are not tolerated under government supervision.

A punishment; the United States has a laissez-faire economy except for pharmaceutical companies, which is the only
market that is strictly regulated.
