You can't force someone to say something. That would violate freedom of speech.

Make it part of the deal. Admit wrongdoing and fix it, otherwise here's a 10 billion dollar fine up your ass. Shame the US has shit for consumer protections.

Someone? I'm talking about having a corporation admit it's own wrongdoing, not a specific individual.

Haha, corporations are people in America.
